Nymphaea, Almost Black (Water Lily) - 8"

Dive into the dramatic elegance of the ‘Almost Black’ Water Lily! This water lily is a true statement piece, featuring flowers that are the closest to black you'll find in the lily world, with a rich, dark burgundy hue that seems to absorb light. Each bloom, with its slightly ruffled petals, measures about 4-6” across, rising 2-3” above the water, and adds a mysterious, almost gothic charm to your pond from late spring through summer. The leaves complement this dark beauty, initially appearing bronze before turning a deep green.

For those in USDA Hardiness Zone 6a, Almost Black is a hardy lily, designed to endure your winters if planted in water deep enough to safeguard its roots. This lily not only brings an unmatched aesthetic appeal but also contributes to your pond's ecosystem by shading the water, reducing algae growth, and offering shelter for aquatic life. Add a touch of intrigue and depth to your water garden with Almost Black.
