Nymphaea 'Madame Wilfron Gonnere' is a distinguished hardy water lily renowned for its exquisite, double-petalled rose-pink blooms. Introduced in 1924 by Latour-Marliac, this classic variety adds refined beauty to any pond or water feature. The peony-shaped flowers contrast beautifully with the lush green foliage, blooming from late spring into autumn. Best suited to still or slow-moving water, it thrives in sunny locations and requires minimal maintenance once established. Ideal for small to medium ponds, this lily brings elegance and biodiversity, attracting bees and other pollinators throughout the flowering season.
