Notes
'Director George T. Moore' dotleaf waterlily (Nymphaea 'Director George T. Moore') is a perennial for containers and low maintenance water features. It grows outdoors year-round in USDA zone 10 and warmer, down to about 30°F (-1°C). In colder areas, grow it as a houseplant or bring it indoors for winter. This plant likes full or part sun and moist to wet, loamy or clay soil. Its fragrant violet purple flowers attract bees. It spreads 60 to 96 inches wide, so give it plenty of room.
Pairs well with Cleopatra canna, Frozen Queen calla lily, and Coral plant.
