LACDESCYGNES
Medium-sized water lily with pads from 12 to 15 cm in diameter, and 10 cm flowers.
This variety was discovered (rather than created) at Latour-Marliac in the early 90s and put into production immediately because of its desirable qualities: it is vigorous, blooms regularly, and has a unique form. The flowers rise up somewhat out of the water and open plate-like, revealing larger than normal bright yellow stamens.
Plant one per 14 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.
