Notes
'Marliacea Chromatella' dotleaf waterlily (Nymphaea 'Marliacea Chromatella') is a perennial for containers, rain gardens, and low maintenance water features. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun and moist to wet, loamy or clay soil. Its yellow flowers are fragrant and attract bees. The plant stays only 3 to 6 inches tall but spreads 60 to 72 inches, so give it plenty of room.
Pairs well with Blue flag, Royal fern, and Dawn redwood.
