Nymphaea 'Texas Dawn'

These aquatic plants are prized for their star-shaped, semi-double flowers which bloom in many colors. Flowers and large leaves float on or rise just above the surface of water. Need full sun to bring out their gorgeous blooms. Plant easy-to-grow, hardy varieties where freezing winters kill the tender tropical varieties. Plant rhizomes on the surface of soil, 8 to 12 inches below the waterline, in a pond or container.
Nymphaea
One of the best yellow water lilies, it received the American Award from the Water Lily Society in 1990. A large-growing, hardy lily, it must have full sun to bloom well. The undersides of new leaves are speckled with purple. Plant from 1½ to 4 feet deep. Possibly hardy to Zone 5 with protection.
