Notes
'Gonnere' dotleaf waterlily (Nymphaea 'Gonnere') is a perennial for containers and low maintenance water gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun and moist, loamy or clay soil. The fragrant flowers open from spring through autumn, and bees visit them. It spreads about 47 to 71 inches wide, so give it plenty of room.
Pairs well with Night Before Christmas hosta, Elecampane, and Canada wild rye.
