Product Overview
Nymphaea 'Denver' Small Creamy White Hardy Waterlily
Enjoy many creamy white, peony shaped flowers with this hardy white water lily. Blooms can range from creamy white to almost a light yellow. Denver is free flowering and the blooms stay open later in the day. Lily pads are green with a red tint at the edge. Good for small water features.
SIZE: Small to Medium (2-4' Spread)
PLANTING CONTAINER: We recommend a 12.5" x 7" or 15" x 7" fabric pot. Click on the link to read about why fabric pots work better!
FERTILIZING: For best health and growth, and especially for maximizing the size and number of blooms, we recommend fertilizing waterlilies regularly. Use Pondtabbs 20 count, 60 count, or 300 count for fast release, or Aquascape 6 count or 12 count capsules for slow release (once a year) fertilizing. Aquascape is preferred for low maintenance, but Pondtabbs are useful in Spring when Aquascape is slow to start in low temperatures. Pondtabbs are also useful for a quick extra nutrient push for extra bloom, and for mid-summer fertilizing of a new plant (we don't recommend using slow release fertilizer in mid-summer or later in cold climates, as plants should run out of fertilizer at the end of the year to encourage dormancy in cold climates).
LIGHT REQUIREMENTS: Full sun to partial shade; the more sun, the more bloom
WATER DEPTH: 6" TO 324" (Maximum water depth is for mature water lilies)
USDA HARDINESS ZONES: 4-11
