The Key Largo water lily (Nymphaea 'Key Largo') is classified as a tropical water lily. This means it originates from warmer climates and requires specific conditions, such as warm water temperatures and plenty of sunlight, to thrive. Tropical water lilies like Key Largo are known for their vibrant colors, large blooms, and lush foliage. They are typically not as cold-hardy as hardy water lilies and may require overwintering indoors or in a protected environment in regions with colder climates.
The foliage of the Key Largo water lily is another notable feature. Its leaves are often large, round or oval-shaped, and have a glossy appearance.
They thrive in full sun but can also tolerate partial shade. These lilies are relatively easy to grow and maintain, making them popular choices for both experienced and novice water gardeners.
