Chromatella Hardy Water Lily – Yellow Bloom Pond Lily for Shade

Fragrant, Free-Flowering Lily That Thrives with Limited Sunlight

Chromatella Hardy Water Lily is a popular, free-flowering variety known for its cheerful yellow, cup-shaped blooms and pleasant fragrance. Unlike many water lilies, Chromatella performs well with just 3 to 4 hours of sunlight, making it an excellent choice for partially shaded ponds and water gardens. This small to medium-sized lily spreads about 30 inches, providing beautiful surface coverage and consistent blooms throughout the season. Thriving in water depths of 6 to 24 inches and hardy in USDA zones 5–11, Chromatella is a reliable and versatile option for adding bright color and fragrance to your pond, even in lower-light conditions.
