Description

You can’t go wrong with a popular hardy water lily glowing in red with yellow centers. Add a touch of apple fragrance to your water garden display this year.

Benefits	Prolific and continuous bloomer even in partial shade. Well suited for tubs and small gardens. 'Gloriosa' offers a landing pad for bees to drink, above shelter for your aquatic animals, and the pad shadows help to prevent algae growth.
Appearance	Flowers: Brilliant red. Opened from about 10am – 4 pm. Stamens: Reddish-orange. Fragrance of apple blossoms. Leaves: Round and bronzy-green.
Size	Flower size: 6"-7" dia. Cup shaped Height above water: 3"-4" Lily pad size: 6"-8" Plant spread: 3'-5' depending on growing environment.
Preferred Growing Conditions	6+ hrs/day direct sunlight. USDA Zone 4. 'Gloriosa' prefers standing water with no fountains or currents. That is why you don't see water lilies in rivers, streams, or creeks. Do not use soil with herbicides or pesticides. Avoid potting soil or other mixes that have floating components such as sticks. You can start at a depth close to the surface for stronger sun rays and warmer temperatures. Then, move the container deeper as it grows and gets established. Keep the planter below the winter freezing line. Cutting flowers for decorative purposes indoors may stimulate continued growth in the pond.
Botanical Name	Nymphaea 'Gloriosa'
Hybridized By	1896, M. Letour-Marliac.
Awards	The "Award of Merit" by the Royal Horticulture Society

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.
