Darwin (Hollandia) Water Lily

Hardy lily with light-pink flowers and burgundy to dark green lily pads. The leaves also shade the water helping to reduce algae and providing shelter for animals and help protect fish from predators such as herons. The large, light pink double flowers have a slight fragrance. Darwin is a very good blooming hardy water lily. The peony-shaped blooms are 5-6 inches in diameter and have 35 to 36 petals. Plant in still water away from splashing fountains. Lower gradually so the leaves can stretch to the surface within a few days.
