text: Waterlily 'Masaniello', Water Lily 'Masaniello', Hardy Nymphaea
  Nymphaea 'Masaniello' (Water Lily) is a day-blooming aquatic perennial boasting rounded, waxy, bright green leaves, up to 10 in. wide (25 cm). Floating on the surface of the water, they create a lovely backdrop for the large, strawberry pink, cup-shaped flowers. Each fragrant blossom, up to 4 in. across (10 cm), features up to 25 pointed petals surrounding a conspicuous bouquet of orange-yellow stamens. Each flower lasts several days, opening in the morning and closing in the late afternoon. Blooming from early summer to early fall, Masaniello is vigorous and produces many flowers over a long season. This hardy nymphaea is recommended for any pond.
