Denver Water Lily

The Denver Water Lily is a day-blooming aquatic perennial boasting rounded green leaves with a red tint at the edges. Floating on the surface of the water, they create a lovely backdrop for the ivory white, peony shaped flowers. Blooming from early summer to early fall, Denver blooms reliably and produces many flowers over a long season. Water lilies are heavy feeders and benefit from a slow release fertilizer specially prepared for aquatic plants such as Growth Balls which can simply be pushed into the soil. Use in medium ponds. Denver is a hardy nymphaea.
