A vigorous red-flowering water lily suited to larger, sun-exposed ponds. Supplied as an established plant in a 3 litre pot, it gives a long display of fragrant blooms and almost round, dark green foliage, helping keep colour on the pond from early summer into autumn.
Nymphaea Vesuve is a water lily grown for its fragrant, bright red flowers with lighter outer edges and a reputation as a prolific, long-blooming variety. It suits ponds with open, sunny spots, and its extended flowering habit helps keep colour on the water from early summer into autumn.
The foliage is dark green and almost round, filling in to give dense cover as the plant establishes. It's a vigorous, wide-spreading lily, so it's better suited to larger ponds than to small container features.
What you get: one established lily supplied in a 3 litre pot, ready to go straight into the pond without repotting.
