Gloire de Temple Sur Lot Waterlily (Nymphaea ‘Gloire de Temple Sur Lot’)

Gloire de Temple Sur Lot Waterlily (Nymphaea ‘Gloire de Temple Sur Lot’)

A truly spectacular waterlily with large, multi layered pink blooms, perfect for creating a stunning centrepiece in medium to large ponds.

The Gloire de Temple Sur Lot Waterlily (Nymphaea ‘Gloire de Temple Sur Lot’) is widely regarded as one of the most impressive and eye catching waterlilies you can add to your pond. Known for its extraordinary flowers, this variety produces large, fully double blooms with layer upon layer of delicately ruffled petals, often reaching over 100 petals per flower.

From June through to September, these breathtaking blooms open in soft shades of pink, forming a rounded, chrysanthemum like shape that floats gracefully on the water. At the centre, hints of golden tones catch the light beautifully, adding depth and dimension to each flower. The result is a truly luxurious and elegant display that instantly elevates any pond setting.

The foliage is just as attractive, emerging in rich purple red tones before maturing into lush green lily pads. These large leaves spread across the surface, typically reaching around 100 cm to 120 cm, providing excellent coverage. This helps to naturally shade the pond, reducing algae growth and keeping the water cooler during warmer months.

This variety is best suited to medium to large ponds where it has the space to fully develop. Its size and presence make it an ideal focal point, whether used as a standalone feature or combined with complementary aquatic planting.

Gloire de Temple Sur Lot thrives in full sun and still water conditions. For optimal growth and flowering, it should be positioned away from fountains or areas of splashing water. Once established, it is a reliable and hardy plant that returns year after year with minimal maintenance.

In addition to its visual impact, this waterlily supports a healthy pond ecosystem. The broad leaves provide shelter for fish and amphibians, while the flowers attract pollinators such as bees, contributing to overall biodiversity.

If you are looking for a waterlily that combines elegance, scale and unique floral structure, this is one of the finest choices available.
