Nymphaea pubescens is an aquatic perennial herb plant in the Nymphaeaceae family. Its native range is from subtropical Asia to northeast Australia. The common name is Hairy water lily. It is commonly grown in shallow lakes or ponds. It is the national flower of Bangladesh. It can grow in non-acidic waters with temperatures maintained above 60F. It grows out of the water 6-12 inches from short rhizomes. The floating leaves are almost round 5-10 inches across. The flowers are fragrant 3-6 inches across with prominent white veins on white petals. Fruits mature under the water 1-2 inches long in an oblong shape. Zones 10-11 Germination Add 2 inches of garden soil in a waterproof container 6 inches tall. Avoid soil with organic content or fertilizer. Add water until it reaches 1 inch above the top of the soil, then press down gently. Sow the seeds on top of the soil and space evenly 1 inch apart. Sprinkle a thin layer of white sand over them. Keep in a warm sunny location until the seeds sprout. Wait until a sprout forms one or two leaves that float on the surface of the water before you pluck it out. Plant it in a separate container and then move it to deeper water.
