nymphaea mexicana
Anyone have experience growing nymphaea mexicana in their pond?
Specifically, does it bloom a lot? I live in So. Calif., avocado growing country, no frost to speak of. I am interested in a hardy or half hardy lily that blooms *alot*. I am not concerned so much with color, form, etc..... The most prolific bloomer I have right now is Chromatella, but I'm interested in other opinions. Thanks, In Advance, Regards, Princerusty |

Thanks, Charles, I'm in Ventura Co. too, Where did you buy the plant?
I'd like to give it a try....My pond is 6' x 2', round. Full sun. Had it for ten years. I have gonnere and a pink lily, but the only one with enough blooms to bother with is Chromatella, at least in my experience. Thanks again, regards, Paul |
Colorado - hardy, very prolific, you'll have to divide every year if not in
a good size pot, but that's also why it blooms like crazy. It's kind of a salmon pink color if I remember right. ~ jan On 25 Aug 2004 14:25:59 -0700, (princerusty) wrote: Anyone have experience growing nymphaea mexicana in their pond?

Perhaps if it was pushed with fertiliser it may do better, however I prefer lilyponds with stable water quality. On the same pond were Indiana, Rose Arey, Joanne Pring, Dauben ...all steadily plunking blooms up. Chromatella by contrast is a very reliable bloomer, Mexicana might well be a dissapointment by comparison Regards, andy http://www.members.aol.com/abdavisnc/swglist.html |
