  Why Nymphaea 'Doris Holt' is a Garden Favorite

  • Dramatic Variegated Foliage: One of the most striking features of 'Doris Holt' is its leaves. The pads are heavily mottled with deep maroon and chocolate streaks, offering incredible visual interest even when the plant is between flowering cycles.

  • Prolific Day-Bloomer: This variety is known for its reliability. It stays open during the day, holding its deep red blooms gracefully above the water's surface on sturdy stems.

  • Excellent Container Specimen: Because it has a slightly more controlled growth habit compared to massive tropicals, it is an ideal candidate for large patio tubs or wine barrels where a splash of dark red is desired.
