Plant description
Red Flare Waterlily is an incredible night blooming specimen!
Brilliant, rosy-red blooms open at dusk, blooms stand 4 – 6 inches above the surface of the water, and above the handsome reddish-bronze pads.
Red Flare Waterlily is a prolific bloomer and is stunning, especially if your pond is lit at night!
The reddish-bronze pads are beautiful in the daytime as well. The reddish-bronze foliage makes a nice contrast to green plants in the pond. The spread on the Red Flare Tropical, Night Blooming Waterlily is 4 – 6 feet and is quite stunning in medium to large ponds. HEAVY BLOOMER!
Planting instructions
Waterlilies are very heavy feeders! Plant your Red Flare Waterlily in a large (2 – 7 gallon) container or a fabric planter using heavy loam soil, place 1 – 2 feet beneath the surface of the water in at least 5+ hours of sunlight each day.
