Nymphaea (Marliacea Hardy Water Lily) Albida. White cup-shaped flowers, 3-4’ spread.

Nymphaea ‘Marliacea Albida’ is a popular white-flowering water lily. It bears beautiful double white flowers with a deep yellow center, from June to September. Its leaves provide a landing pad for thirsty honeybees, while offering shelter for aquatic wildlife beneath the surface. The shade cast from the leaves also helps to prevent the growth of algae.

Nymphaea ‘Marliacea Albida’ grows in water 1 1/2 - 2 ft deep, and is therefore suitable for growing in medium- to large-sized ponds. For best results grow in full sun and ensure the plant has plenty of room to spread. 

Water lilies thrive in still water, so avoid planting near a fountain or pump.
