HELVOLA
Miniature water lily with pads from 8 to 12 cm in diameter, and 6 cm flowers.
Limited stock
Antique variety. 'Helvola' is unrivalled as the smallest hybrid water lily and is, after 'Chromatella' probably the most famous of Latour-Marliac's creations. The tiny canary yellow flowers bloom non-stop during the season, and sit atop equally small mottled pads. Ideal for very small container water gardens.
Plant one per 14 litre planting container at a depth of 10 to 25 cm in order to have approximately 50 cm of surface coverage after a year or two.
