Nuphar lutea (Deep Water Aquatic)

This vigorous deep water aquatic is native to Britain and produces leathery, deep green leaves that are similar to a water lily. In summer, it sends up stems bearing golden-yellow, cup like flowers that have a alcohol-like fragrance - giving it its common name of Brandy Bottle. Nuphar lutea is a versatile hardy perennial that copes well in both heavy shade and running water. Perfect for lakes and large ponds, where its wide spreading habit can reach its full potential. Height: 100cm (39). Spread: 200cm (78). Planting depth: Zone 4 to 1m (39) below water level.
