Red Water Lilies

Water Lilies provide a stunning addition to any pond, whatever size. Their flowers usually bloom in summer and will provide interest into early autumn, sometimes as late as October. Water lily foliage provides shelter for wildlife and inhibits algae growth due to the water surface being shaded.
