Quick Overview:

Chromatella is a very free flowering water lily with canary-yellow cup-shaped, fragrant flowers. Lily pads are dark green with bronze variegation. This hardy yellow water lily needs only three or four hours of sunlight to produce blooms. An excellent choice for any size water garden, from small to large.

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)
