Nymphaea 'Attraction' is a pretty pink-flowering water lily, bearing delicate double flowers in a rich, dark pink, with a deep yellow centre. It grows in water depths of 40-90cm, and is therefore suitable for growing in medium- to large-sized ponds.
Water lily leaves provide a landing pad for thirsty honeybees, while offering shelter for aquatic wildlife beneath the surface. The shade cast from the leaves also helps to prevent the growth of algae.
For best results grow Nymphaea 'Attraction' in full sun and ensure the plant has plenty of room to spread. Remember that water lilies thrive in still water, so avoid planting near a fountain or pump.
