Prannatee Waterlily – A Dazzling New Hardy Annual from Thailand
Prannatee Waterlily is a small-to-medium annual water lily from renowned hybridizer Primlarp Wasuwat, celebrated for producing some of the most breathtaking new cultivars in the aquatic world. With its autumn pink and sunset flowers and stunning mottled leaves, some of the best we have ever seen, Prannatee instantly draws attention in any pond, tub, or water garden.
The 4–6 inch mottled pads are simply spectacular, often more striking than the flowers themselves. Blooms measure 2 to 4.75 inches across and flowers continually from spring until frost, making Prannatee a lively, long-lasting addition to your water garden. Its smaller size and reliable growth habit make it especially well-suited for container ponds, stock tanks, and shallow pond edges where its beauty can be appreciated up close.
For those who enjoy collecting special pond plants, Prannatee pairs beautifully with other Wasuwat introductions like Mae-Naengnoi or Nin Natee, and is particularly delightful in Medaka rice fish ponds or tub gardens.
