Nymphaea ‘Hermine’ grows in water depths of 30-75cm, and is therefore suitable for growing in medium-sized ponds. From May to September it bears large, star-shaped pure white flowers in contrast with large olive-green leaves.

The leaves provide a landing pad for thirsty honeybees, while offerering shelter for aquatic wildlife beneath the surface. Water lily leaves also help suppress the growth of algae in summer. For best results grow Nymphaea ‘Hermine’ in full sun and allow the plant to spread. Remember that water lilies thrive in still water, so avoid growing near a fountain or pump.
