Nymphaea 'Attraction'

Nymphaea "Attraction" is a beautiful, red water lily for the medium to large pond, which owes its name not to the flower, but to its special leaves. The large, round leaves appear bronze-colored earlier and turn dark green during the season. This water lily blooms from June to August, with pleasantly scented, star-shaped, pink-red 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 "Attraction" prefers a location in full sun or partial shade, a water depth of 0.50 to 1.00 meters and a nutrient-rich soil. The plant is very hardy, attracts butterflies, bees and other insects, tolerates sea wind and slightly brackish water.
