Hardy Lily - FIRECREST

Hardy Lily Arc en Ciel Nymphaea is a beautiful hardy water lily known for its soft, changing color tones and classic floating lily pads. Its blooms can show shades of blush pink, cream, peach, and light yellow, giving your pond a soft watercolor look throughout the season.

This hardy pond lily is a great choice for outdoor ponds, water gardens, tubs, and decorative water features. Once established, it returns year after year in the right growing conditions and helps bring shade, beauty, and balance to your pond.

Arc en Ciel Nymphaea grows best in full sun and still or slow moving water. Plant in a wide aquatic container with heavy loam soil and place below the water surface at the proper depth for your pond size. As the plant matures, it will spread floating pads across the water and produce elegant blooms during the warm growing season.

Perfect for pond owners who want a hardy, low maintenance water lily with soft coloring and timeless water garden appeal.
