Nymphaea odorata 'Arc En Ciel' -​ Large, light pink summer flowers float just above large, round, glossy and dark green leaves with flecked, streaked and splashed with irregular pink and white markings. 'Arc En Ciel' translates from the French to 'Rainbow'... and this Hardy Water Lily is! Can be planted up to 6 feet deep. Though said to not be particular about soil we find that sandy loam is best. Full sun. Hefty bare root division. Will not ship until May-ish.
