WHITE LOTUS
Nymphaea juno
Zone 4-10
Commonly referred to as
"Water Lilies", these plants have adapted to living in total water
environment. It was introduced in 1906 and has been an outstanding
night bloomer variety for decades!
The cultivar, 'Juno' has white flowers and sepals. This showy plant is
old fashion, a real heritage and very fragrant too. The flowers are 8
to 12 inches across and are produced most freely throughout the summer
into early fall. The flowers open very wide, almost flat. The stamens
are saffron yellow in color. They open in the late afternoon and stay
open while the day bloomers are closed until late in the early morning.
Moonlight makes it a most unusual sight whereas the pure white blossoms
appear to glow!
The leaves of these plants are individually supported on leaf stalks
called petioles. The leaves are 12 by 13 inch, green, and are blotched
purple with brownish purple undersides. They can spread from 5 to 6
feet wide.
Packet contains 8 seeds
