Description

Customers love the ‘Attraction’ hardy water lily for the dramatic beauty it brings to the pond. From early growth through peak bloom, this variety delivers an eye-catching display that continues to improve as the season progresses. From the very beginning, ‘Attraction’ stands out as a water lily with presence, scale, and rich color.

One of the most remarkable features of the ‘Attraction’ is its flower color. As the plant matures, the blooms deepen into a rich, intense red that feels bold and luxurious. Over time, each flower develops greater depth and saturation, creating a striking contrast against the water’s surface. As a result, pond owners enjoy an evolving display rather than a static bloom.

In addition to its color, the ‘Attraction’ hardy water lily produces some of the largest blossoms among all hardy water lilies. The oversized flowers open wide and sit proudly above the water, making them easy to see from across the pond. Because of their size, the blooms quickly become a focal point and elevate the entire water feature.

Beyond the flowers, ‘Attraction’ also offers strong, dependable growth. The broad green lily pads spread evenly across the pond and provide excellent surface coverage. Consequently, the pads help shade the water, reduce algae growth, and stabilize water temperatures. At the same time, fish benefit from the added protection beneath the foliage.

Moreover, this hardy water lily adapts well to a wide range of pond sizes and climates. When planted at the proper depth and given full sun, it establishes quickly and returns reliably year after year. Therefore, both beginner and experienced pond keepers can enjoy its performance with confidence.

Additionally, the bold red blooms pair beautifully with lighter-colored lilies, stone edging, and reflective water surfaces. For example, ‘Attraction’ works especially well as a centerpiece plant in formal ponds or as a standout feature in natural water gardens.

Overall, the ‘Attraction’ hardy water lily earns its popularity through sheer beauty, impressive bloom size, and dependable growth. Add this exceptional variety to your pond this year and enjoy one of the most dramatic hardy water lilies available.

The table below shows the estimated shipping and pick-up weeks for destinations to USA states. These dates can change depending on weather and how strong the plants are at that time.

For example, a wet spring will have many clouds leading to less sunshine. Thus, the plants may need a bit longer to grow strong enough for transplanting and transit. With the planet heating up, a warm spring may help the plants grow strong enough to ship before the dates in this table.
