Nymphaea Marliacea Albida

Water-lily Marliacea Albida

One of the best and most popular white water-lilies for bigger ponds, Nymphaea Marliacea Albida is a deciduous aquatic perennial with mid-green leaves flushed bronze when they emerge. Masses of beautiful, white, double, starry flowers with golden stamens are borne from June to September. The lily-pads spread out over the water, shading it, and providing cover for fish and other water-creatures. Plant water-lily Marliacea Albida at 6-10” (15-25cm) depth at first, gradually lowering the basket to the full depth of 20” (50cm). Dead-head the flowers and any yellow leaves.
