Nymphaea 'Colorado' (Peach-Salmon Water Lily)

Nymphaea 'Colorado' is prized among Dutch and Belgian water garden collectors for its unique peach-salmon to apricot-orange flower color—a warm, unusual tone seldom seen in hardy water lilies. Flowers are held erectly above the water surface and produced freely from June through September on a plant of moderate spread. Its distinctive coloration makes it a sought-after collector's variety and a standout specimen in any pond collection.

Plant in full sun at 30–80 cm water depth. Feed with aquatic fertilizer tablets monthly during the growing season. Divide every 3–4 years when flowering declines. Remove spent flowers to encourage repeat blooming.
