Nymphaea James Brydon does its fair share of galloping around the ponds. Being a Marliac type rhisome you can rely on it to grow and bloom well on an unfertilised pot without sprawling all over the place. Which makes it easy to shuffle about for droughts or renovations

Early Winter, set on a clay pond to perk up a clay pond dig early Spring, doing buds in ones and two's until drought bakes the pond dry and crisps the foliage, James Brydon is then shuffled onto near full shade lined pond for the 90's and 100 plus heat blasts of Summer.

Late Autumn is a good time to pot shy blooming hardy waterlilies, to establish a good set of feeder roots through the Winter months. Better able to cope with the first blast of hot Summer waters on a still pond when it arrives.
