Water Lily Escarboucle – Hardy Red Water Lily

Bring Glowing Ruby-Red Colour to Your Pond

Escarboucle is one of the most admired red hardy water lilies. Its big, jewel-toned blooms light up the water all summer long and stay open later into the evening than most other reds, so you can enjoy them well after work.

Highlights

• Flowers: Large, cup- to star-shaped blossoms 15–20 cm (6–8 in) across, with bright cherry-red inner petals, outer petals lightly tipped in white, and a striking centre of glowing orange-red stamens.
• Bloom time: Flowers open in the morning and stay open late into the evening, blooming from early summer through early autumn.
• Foliage: Rounded leaves start out brownish-red and mature to a deep, glossy green, spreading up to 120–150 cm (about 4 ft) to give your pond plenty of surface shade.
