The Nymphaea' Walter Pagels' is a water lily with small growth that will find its place in a small pond or a watertight container on the terrace. From spring to autumn, numerous small pinkish-white star-shaped flowers succeed each other. Its green leaves float on the water's surface. It is a floriferous and hardy aquatic plant, and it is to be planted under 20 to 40 cm of water directly in the mud, in a basket, or a container. It appreciates a well-sunny exposure.
The hybrid water lily 'Walter Pagels' is a horticultural creation by Robert Kirk Strawn (U.S.A) in 1993. From the Nymphaeaceae family, it is a perennial aquatic plant with deciduous foliage. Its floating green leaves appear in spring. Measuring 8 to 12 cm in diameter, they are elongated and have a well-opened sinus. The plant spreads over about 75 cm. From May-June until September, or even October, the flowers constantly renew themselves. They stand 15 cm above the surface. These corollas measure 6 cm in diameter and are white-tinged with apricot pink at the base. You will discover very bright golden yellow stamens in the flower's heart. The flowers open during the day and close at night. Each one lives for 4 to 5 days before withering and being replaced by a new one.
This floriferous small water lily, 'Walter Pagels,' is ideal for a small pond. It is hardy as long as the water does not freeze in winter at the depth at which its rhizome is planted. It blooms for long weeks, from late spring to early autumn. As an oxygenating plant, it is essential to balance your water features properly. Its large leaves on the water's surface provide shade and shelter for fish and a platform for dragonflies and amphibians. On the banks of your water feature, play with complementary colours by planting Japanese Irises such as iris ensata 'Worley Pink' with double pink flowers or 'World's Delight' with soft pink flowers. Add a Zebra Rush (Schoenolplectus tarbernaemontana 'Zebrinus') that brings verticality to the ensemble. Or go for an exotic style with Thalia dealbata with large green leaves.

Botanical data
The rootstock of the Nymphaea 'Walter Pagels' cep should be planted a few centimetres deep, at a depth of 20 to 40 cm of water. The vine plants are hardy when the water does not freeze at their planted depth. In shallow basins, planting in a container is possible. In this case, the rootstocks in damp sand are protected from frost in winter. Plant them in good garden soil, preferably rich, by inserting them vertically until the collar. Avoid using horticultural compost, which is too rich. Planting the rootstocks in a basket about 40 cm wide is also possible. Sink the basket in the desired location and weigh it down if necessary. Plant your rootstocks promptly upon receipt. Choose the sunniest area and allow at least 1 m between each rootstock.
In the case of a natural body of water (pond or lake), ensure that the water level remains relatively stable and that the water is neither too acidic nor too alkaline (pH between 6.5 and 7.5).
If there are fish in your pond, spreading a thick layer of coarse gravel at the base is preferable to deter them from digging up the rootstock.
Water lilies are hungry plants. Every year, at the beginning of the growing season, apply a slow-release fertiliser that will nourish your water lily throughout its growing period (for example, Osmocote 10-11-18-2 with a duration of 5-6 months).
During the summer, remove any leaves that may grow excessively in the centre of the clump, keeping only the most beautiful ones. Remove those that are yellowed or stained.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
