Nymphaea 'J.C.N. Forestier'

Old and exceptionally rare variety. Forestier was the architect of the Bagatelle Gardens in Paris, and a very good client of Latour-Marliac, hence his receiving a namesake lily in 1930. This variety has delicate coppery yellow and pink flowers whose tones change over the 3 to 5 day life of the flower.

Plant one per 14 or 20 litre Latour-Marliac 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.
