LACTEA
Medium-sized water lily with pads from 12 to 15 cm in diameter, and 10 cm flowers.
'Lactea' starts out a very pale pink the first day and changes to white thereafter. A good, vigorous lily for those who want more than a white, but less than a pink. Rarely found outside of Le Temple-sur-Lot.
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.
