Pygmy water lily 'Pygmaea Rubra'
Pygmy water lily 'Pygmaea Rubra' is an award-winning water lily cultivar, known for its relatively small, star-shaped flowers that are pink when they first open, and turn warm red as they mature, with the golden heart remaining vibrant the entire time. It flowers from late spring to early autumn. The leaves are small, dark-green, and purple-blotched. Due to being so compact, spreading only about 30 cm, pygmy water lily 'Pygmaea Rubra' can grow well in shallow ponds, half barrels, or tubs.
