Description
Juno Night-Blooming Water Lily Overview
The ‘Juno’ night-blooming water lily is a historic and elegant aquatic plant that has captivated water gardeners for over a century. Originally derived from Nymphaea dentata superba, it later became known as ‘Juno’. Introduced in 1906, this variety has impressed gardeners for decades with its beauty, unique bloom structure, and vibrant saffron stamens.
Because of its night-blooming habit, Juno is ideal for ponds, tub gardens, and water features. Gardeners enjoy its flowers in the evening and early morning hours.
Historic and Cultivated Beauty
Juno has a rich history and refined form. Cultivators developed it from the sacred lotus of Egyptian tradition, creating a flower with perfect symmetry and elegance. Its heritage makes it not only visually stunning but also culturally significant.
Additionally, its classic white petals and structured blooms bring serenity and charm to any water garden.
Saffron Yellow Stamens and Night Blooms
Juno’s flowers feature vibrant saffron stamens, which contrast beautifully with the white petals. The blooms open at dusk and remain open all night, closing only as morning sunlight reaches the pond.
Moreover, Juno produces flowers consistently throughout the growing season. Therefore, it provides a dependable and continuous display of nighttime beauty.
Lily Pads and Pond Benefits
The lily develops broad green pads that float across the pond surface. These pads shade the water, which helps limit algae growth and keeps water temperatures cooler. They also provide shelter for koi, goldfish, and other pond life. As a result, Juno contributes to both the visual appeal and ecological health of your pond.
Growing Requirements and Care
Juno thrives in full sun, receiving at least six hours of direct sunlight daily. Plant it in calm water at a depth of 6 to 18 inches, which supports healthy growth and flowering.
Since it is a tropical variety, gardeners in cooler climates should overwinter Juno indoors. With proper care, this lily returns every season, providing its signature night-blooming beauty.
Ideal Uses in Water Gardens
Juno is perfect for gardeners who enjoy night-blooming lilies with history and elegance. Its saffron stamens, white petals, and floating pads make it a standout in ponds, tub gardens, and decorative water features. Consequently, it brings sophistication, tranquility, and lasting beauty to any aquatic landscape.

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.
