Nymphaea Pink Grapefruit is a stunning hardy water lily that produces large, peachy-pink blooms with a golden-yellow center. Floating elegantly on the water’s surface, its rounded green leaves provide excellent shade, helping to reduce algae growth and maintain a healthy pond ecosystem. Blooming from late spring to early autumn, this water lily is an excellent choice for adding vibrant color and natural beauty to ponds and water gardens. Thriving in full sun, it is easy to grow and a favorite among pond enthusiasts.

Water Lily Plant Guide

Prepare Container — Fill the air‑pot, ceramic pot, or basket one‑third with washed gravel (rinse thoroughly to remove dust). Create a shallow depression in the centre for the rhizome.

Position Rhizome — Place the rhizome horizontally with the crown (growing tip) slightly above the media — never bury the crown(new growth). Allow roots to drape into the gravel.

Add Plant Food — Insert a pinch of slow‑release fertiliser or a root tab into the media near the roots.

If it's a natural pond or has soil, you may place a handful of topsoil under the rhizome and surround it with gravel.

Cover & Cap — Add more gravel to secure the roots, then finish with a 3–5 cm gravel/pebble cap to keep fish from disturbing the roots and to keep the water clear.

TIP: Place in a sunny spot (4–6+ hours minimum direct sunlight) to promote abundant flowering!
