A Beautiful Addition to the Pond

Nymphaea "Blue Anemone"

Nymphaea ‘Blue Anemone’ is a tropical lily created by LeeAnn Connelly. Blue Anemone was created by crossing Nymphaea colorata x N. "Midnight" It is a double bright blue. It was the first multi petalled flower since George Pring’s Nymphaea "Midnight". It’s date of publication is 1998. Here in S.FL it over winters well. If left unfertilized or pot bound during the fall it will likely go dormant producing multiple small tubers in the soil. These tubers are easily separated in the late Winter or early Spring, planted in their own container to produce new sprouts. Suitable for medium to large ponds it will grow to 6'-8' in total spread if planted in a large enough (5-7 gal.) container. The oval shaped leaves leaves will grow to 18" long.

Available in limited quantities this year and for 2021 it will be available some time in March. Order early as it is sure to sell out.
