Nymphaea 'Patio Joe'

'Patio Joe' has very large uniformly salmon-coloured flowers that rise way out of the water in the same way that tropicals do. Uniformity of colour is an unusual trait in coppoer-coloured lilies, most are changeable, or contain various shades of pink and yellow. Other monochrome copper varieties include N. 'Barbara Davies,' and N. 'Colorado.'

Plant one per 20 litre planting container at a depth of 20 to 60 cm in order to have approximately one square metre of surface coverage after a year or two.
