The hardy water lily is considered one of the favorites among the red hardy lilies.  It is a deep crimson color with leaves that are large, rounded and plain green.  It can produce flowers up to 12 inches across but usually are about 8 inches inches and is fragrant.

Give it plenty of room to grow so it will spread in your pond giving you more blooms.  Depth can be 24-48 inches deep situated in full sun.  Has a Marliac-type rhizome.  Good for medium to large size ponds.
