Nymphaea (Water Lilies)

Water lilies transform ponds into thriving ecosystems, offering both beauty and vital habitat. Their floating leaves provide shade, cooling the water and sheltering fish, tadpoles, and aquatic invertebrates like freshwater snails. The flowers attract pollinators, including bees and hoverflies, while the undersides of the pads host damselfly nymphs and other small creatures. Beneath the surface, the dense root systems offer spawning grounds for fish and a refuge for diving beetles. Whether in a small wildlife pond or larger water feature, Water lilies help maintain balanced, oxygen-rich water while creating a haven for diverse species, blending ornamental appeal with deep ecological value.
