🌿 Red Water Lily (Nymphaea rubra)
Deep Red-to-Burgundy Leaves • Grows from a Bulb • A Dramatic Centrepiece for Aquariums and Ponds
 
📋 Red Water Lily is a true showpiece. Growing from a bulb, it sends up broad, rounded leaves in rich red-to-burgundy tones that create an instant, luxurious focal point and contrast beautifully with bright green carpets and stem plants. Kept trimmed, it stays as a compact bush of colourful underwater leaves; allowed to grow, it sends lily pads to the surface and can reward you with its beautiful flowers, especially in ponds and open-top tanks.
It's easy-going and quick to establish. Plant the bulb lightly in a nutrient-rich substrate, add root tabs, and give it moderate to strong light, and it grows steadily into a stunning centrepiece. A tropical plant, it's right at home in warm aquariums and ponds.
It's a freshwater plant, suited to freshwater aquariums and ponds.
