Winter Hardy Water Lily – Nymphaea ‘Dallas’

Being winter-hardy means this water lily is capable of surviving cold temperatures and dormant periods outdoors in a pond. As long as the roots are kept below the ice line, the plant will typically return the following spring.

The Nymphaea ‘Dallas’ is a sun-loving plant that performs best in full sun. For optimal growth and the most fragrant blooms, ensure your pond location receives at least six to eight hours of direct sunlight daily.

This variety is known for its distinct, star-shaped flowers that are highly fragrant. The foliage is equally decorative, featuring subtle mottling on the leaves that adds texture and visual interest to the water surface.

The minimum order of three units is set to ensure you have enough plant material to establish a healthy, balanced look in your pond from the start. Planting in groups also helps the lilies compete better with other aquatic vegetation and provides better coverage for the water surface.

Yes, the Nymphaea ‘Dallas’ is an excellent choice for beginners. Because it is a hardy perennial, it is generally more resilient and easier to maintain than tropical varieties, making it a reliable staple for outdoor ponds.
