Frequently Asked Questions
How deep should I plant it?
How deep should I plant it?
Plant at a depth of 30 to 50 cm.
Does it need full sun?
Does it need full sun?
Yes, it flowers best in full sun rather than a shaded spot.
How much space will it need?
How much space will it need?
Allow for a spread of 50 to 90 cm so the leaves and flowers have room across the surface.
Will I need to repot it straight away?
Will I need to repot it straight away?
No. The 3 litre plant doesn't need repotting immediately, though it will benefit from a larger basket over time.
What happens if I buy it out of season?
What happens if I buy it out of season?
It may be supplied cut back, since plants are less active outside the main growing period. This is normal and it will regrow.
A fragrant, open-flowered water lily suited to sunny garden ponds, Nymphaea Odorata 'Firecrest' gives the water surface a long run of colour across the warmer months. Supplied as an established 3 litre plant, it settles in without needing to be repotted straight away and can be moved to a larger basket in its own time.
Nymphaea Odorata 'Firecrest' is a water lily whose petals open out fully flat across the water, with red-tipped stamens standing up at the centre of each bloom. The flowers also carry a noticeable fragrance, so the plant offers scent at the water's edge as well as colour on the surface.
It suits ponds that get good direct sun, where it has the best chance of flowering well across open water. What you get is a single, established 3 litre potted lily, ready to go straight into the pond on arrival.
What sets it apart is the combination of fragrance and flower form: fully open petals with red-tipped stamens standing out at the centre of each bloom.
