Description

Bred in China, and introduced at the beginning of the 21st century, this highly attractive water lily has petite red blooms and green foliage, edged with scarlet.

Repotting or planting

Small lilies in 1 ltr pots will benefit from repotting into a larger mesh basket. 2ltr and upwards do not need repotting

Care instructions

Plant in still water away from splashing fountains. Lower gradually so the leaves can stretch to the surface within a few days. Remove dead leaves and flowers during the growing season
