🌸 Nymphaea ‘Attraction’ – Hardy Pink Water Lily (Deep Red-Pink Blooms)

Nymphaea ‘Attraction’ is a breathtaking hardy water lily known for its deep pink to reddish-pink flowers that radiate elegance and color across any pond. Hybridized by Latour-Marliac, the master breeder behind many of today’s most beloved water lilies, this variety stands out for its large, free-flowering blooms and robust growth. Each flower opens wide above the water, revealing a rich yellow center framed by multiple layers of velvety petals — a true showpiece for garden ponds and water features.

WHAT WE CAN'T GUARANTEE

Healthy rhizomes

The rhizomes arrived a little stressed, but I put it in a fishbowl pot with Amazonia ADA dirt and it came back to life in a day.

Nice and quick to sprout

Received a 3-4" rhizome with two leaves on it. Very healthy looking rhizome, leaves not so happy due to the heat (Phoenix, Az spring shipping) but not APF's fault, they packed it well, rhizome undamaged. Planted this guy in a terracotta pot and placed in my indoor "pot pond." Shot out a leaf the next day, and then more over the last two weeks. Has about 4 underwater leaves with a few more stems starting and one that broke the surface today. That one has been funny, still curled up and it moved itself all over the place today like it was trying to find the best spot to settle on. The fish like hanging out near its base, I'm sure that'll even increase once we get some surface leaves. Anyways, nice plant, been very happy with it and the quality from APF. Looking forward to seeing it bloom.

Really healthy lily!

I received a very clean helvola rhizome about 2 inches long and an inch wide, with 3 leaves. It was obviously very healthy, even if one of the leaves was a bit damaged. It produced one leaf a week almost immediately after I planted it. Extremely satisfied!
