Nymphaea Nouchali (Capensis), commonly known as the Cape Blue Water Lily, is a striking aquatic perennial with vivid sky-blue to deep violet flowers and a golden-yellow center. Indigenous to South Africa, this hardy water lily thrives in warm, still waters, making it a perfect addition to ponds, dams, and water gardens. Its broad floating leaves provide shade and shelter for aquatic life, while its fragrant blooms attract pollinators. A fast grower and prolific bloomer, this beautiful species is an excellent choice for adding a touch of natural elegance to any water feature.
