Quick Overview:

Nymphaea ‘Perry’s Fire Opal’ Hardy Waterlily displays a 5-7″ peony/cup shaped, clear dark fuchsia pink flower and medium dark green leaves. The flower floats except in very shallow water and has a very fragrant and uniquely sweet fragrance. Fire Opal is a good bloomer, spreads 4-7′ in 6 in. to 8 ft. of water, is more adaptable than many larger odorata types, and is slightly shade tolerant.

Description

Easily grown in wet soil in still water in full sun to part shade. Full sun may be best, but plants will usually flower with as little as three hours of sun per day. Plant rhizomes horizontally in spring with bud end up in containers submerged in ponds or water gardens where the water is 12-48″ deep. When planted in containers, plants can be more easily moved later on if desired. Rhizomes may be planted directly in the muddy bottom of a pond.  (Courtesy of Missouri Botanical Gardens Plant Finder)
