Waterlilies, or Nymphaea, are the quintessential pond plant. Not only do they produce attractive round leaves that rest on the water’s surface, but they bloom in various shades ranging from pink to white, red to orange. If you want to create a Monet-inspired masterpiece in your backyard, learning how to grow waterlilies is a must.
There are 65 species of Nymphaea, which can be broken down into two basic groups: hardy and tropical. Some are found in the warmer regions of the world, whereas many grow naturally in cooler regions, including across North America and Europe.
