Taken at Decoy Park, Newton Abbot, South Devon. England, UK Water Lily (Nymphaea) Water lilies are the ultimate pond plant, giving beautiful shapes and exquisite colours, from white and blues to pinks and reds. The flowers of some, such as ‘Indiana’, even change colour as they age, such as from orange-yellow to rich bronze-red. The foliage can also be a big attraction, giving a fresh green cover. The leaves vary in size from large dinner plates to small discs. They play a vital role in reducing the amount of algae in ponds by shading the surface and excluding light. The leaves also provide a hiding place for fish. Most of the hardy varieties were bred by the French nurseryman Mnsr Latour-Marliac, who began producing some outstanding hybrids in the late 1800s. The multi-petalled ‘Gloire du Temple-sur-Lot’ commemorates his nursery at Temple-sur-Lot, near Bordeaux, in south-west France. The prefix ‘Marliacea’ is used to signify a hardy variety of a high standard. Recommended varieties / Choose a plant with plenty of young leaves, rather than flowers, for more vigorous, free-flowering results. Note that a pond should have at least two-thirds water to one-third plant cover to avoid a strangled appearance and ensure lots of reflections. Related information courtesy of the BBC
