Plant has lovely foilage even when not blooming. Needs medium to large pond, beautiful dark crimsom flowers. As red as a tropical gets. Overwinters in a zone 9 pond.

Neutral NestEggFarms On Jul 29, 2003, NestEggFarms from Alachua, FL (Zone 9a) wrote:

This beautiful tropical night blooming waterlily is an excellent bloomer which can produce 6 or 7 blooms at a time! It is also extremely prolific. The blooms are held high above the water. The flowers are deep red, round and flat. The leaves are a reddish bronze & heavily serrated. It has a medium to large spread, requires full sun and is great for the beginner.
