Nymphaea Mayla is another hybrid water lily cultivar, developed by hybridizer Kirk Strawn in 1993. It is a cross between Nymphaea ‘August Koch’ and Nymphaea ‘Crystal’, both popular cultivars in their own right.
The flowers of Nymphaea Mayla are a striking shade of deep pink or magenta, with slightly pointed petals that give it a star-like appearance. The flowers can grow up to 6 inches in diameter and have a sweet, pleasant fragrance. The leaves are green and circular, and can grow up to 8 inches in diameter.
Nymphaea Mayla is a relatively small water lily cultivar, making it an excellent choice for smaller water gardens and containers. It is also a vigorous grower and can quickly form a dense carpet of leaves over the surface of the water. It prefers full sun to partial shade and can thrive in a variety of water depths, from shallow to several feet deep.
Overall, Nymphaea Mayla is a beautiful and versatile water lily cultivar that can add a splash of color and fragrance to any water feature. Its compact size and vigorous growth habit make it an excellent choice for smaller water gardens and containers.

PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS FOR WATER LILY
There are two main types of water lilies, tropical and hardy. The differences between tropical and hardy water lilies are a growing habit. Tropical water lilies don’t do well in winter. Hardy water lilies, on the other hand, can tolerate the cold. Tropical water lilies tubers must be removed from the pond and stored in moist conditions to come back in the future years. In warm climates, they can remain in the pond.
