Nymphaea ‘Siam Fantasy’ is a breathtaking hardy water lily prized for its bold marbled coloration and generous yellow hues. With a visual appeal that draws comparisons to Nymphaea ‘Wanvisa’, this cultivar stands out with its brighter yellow base petals accented by rich red streaks, creating a tropical, sun-drenched effect on the water’s surface.
Each bloom floats gracefully above the water, opening fully during the day to reveal a striking golden-yellow center. Paired with green lily pads speckled in purple-brown, this variety adds vibrant contrast and movement to any pond or container water garden.

⚠️ Disclaimer:
Please allow 1–2 growing seasons for your lily to reach its full blooming potential. Flower shape and coloration may vary slightly depending on growing conditions, lighting, and water quality.
There are two main types of water lilies, tropical and hardy. The differences between tropical and hardy water lilies are a growing habit. Tropical water lilies don't do well in winter. Hardy water lilies, on the other hand, can tolerate the cold. Tropical water lilies tubers must be removed from the pond and stored in moist conditions to come back in the future years. In warm climates, they can remain in the pond.
