Nymphaea 'Fabiola'

Nymphaea "Fabiola" is a profusely blooming, pink water lily, which is especially suitable for medium to large ponds. The plant has large, almost round leaves, which emerge bronze-colored and then slowly turn green. This water lily blooms from June to September, with large, pleasantly scented, cup-shaped to peony-like, pink flowers, with a yellow center and almost white outer sepals. As soon as the flower has finished blooming, it begins to sink to the bottom, after which the seeds can germinate. Nymphaea "Fabiola" likes a position 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 and is also tolerant of air pollution.
