Product Overview

Nymphaea 'Islamorada'

Islamorada has medium purple flowers accented by off-white marbling in each of the petals. This marbling gives the overall impression of a light purple bloom, although the base purple color is darker. The underside of the petal also has a darker purple base than when viewed from above--this, combined with the fact that Islamorada blooms last longer than most waterliy blooms as a cut flower, make it an excellent choice for using as a cut flower. Islamorada is viviparous, which means it can grow new plantlets from its water lily pads. Being viviparous also means that Islamorada is slightly more cold tolerant, giving it a longer growing season. A truely unusual tropical water lily. It has a long blooming season and is very free flowering.
