I have a Nymphaea pygmaea helvola, which cost about £13 from BBC GW show a
couple of years back.

It's tiny - I keep it in a 45cm diameter plastic pot pond, together with
two fish, a load of snails, a flag iris and some elodea. Been there two
winters now and it flowers beautifully right through the summer. Doesn't
get bigger than the pot size, I believe. (Might be too small for your pond
depth, but can always be balanced on bricks)

Can send a photo if you want one.
