Nymphaea 'Pygmaea Alba', also known as Dwarf White Water Lily, is a charming and compact variety of water lily that is well-suited for smaller ponds, water features, and even container water gardens. This species is appreciated for its delicate, star-shaped white flowers and its relatively small lily pads. The "P11" pot size, approximately 11 cm in diameter, is ideal for those looking to start or enhance a water garden without needing a large space.
Why we like it:
- Compact Size: Perfect for smaller ponds or container water gardens where space is limited.
- Attractive Blooms: Produces beautiful white flowers that can add elegance and tranquility to any water feature.
- Low Maintenance: Once established, it requires minimal care beyond ensuring the water quality is maintained.
What to know:
- Planting Depth: Should be planted at a depth of about 20-40 cm of water over the crown of the plant.
- Sun Exposure: Prefers full sun to bloom profusely but can tolerate partial shade.
- Water Requirements: Being an aquatic plant, it naturally requires a submerged planting and consistent water coverage.
- Seasonal Care: In colder climates, ensure the root system does not freeze completely; may require deeper placement or removal to an indoor setting during winter.
- Fertilization: Benefits from aquatic plant fertilizer during the growing season to promote healthy growth and blooming.

Flowering months

Height and Spread

Nymphaea 'Pygmaea Alba' is an excellent choice for water garden enthusiasts who have limited space but wish to enjoy the serene beauty of water lilies. Its ease of care and beautiful blooms make it a delightful addition to any water feature.
