Nymphaea 'Albatros'

Nymphaea albatros is one of the most beautiful white water lilies for the medium to large pond. The large, round leaves are first colored red and later dark green. They can easily reach a diameter of 20 cm. This white water lily blooms from June to August, with large, star-shaped, white flowers, with a yellow center. The diameter of the flower is approx. 15 to 20 cm. As soon as the flower has finished flowering, the seeds sink to the bottom. Nymphaea albatros prefers a position in full sun or partial shade, a water depth of 0.30 to 0.80 meters and a nutrient-rich soil. The plant is very hardy, attracts butterflies, bees and other insects, tolerates sea wind and light brackish water and is also tolerant to air pollution.
