The ultimate dark waterlily, dark leaves & stems – stunning! Award of Garden Merit from the RHS. 4″- 4.5 blooms are a smouldering, operatic black velvet red with a lustrous sheen and almost black centres on a compact 3 ½’ plant. An amazing companion for orange flowers. Bred in Holland for the cut flower market with sturdy stems and long-lasting vaselife.
Worth growing for the slight chocolate scent alone!

A 6"- 8" informal decorative form. Bloomquist Jean is a deep orange, often with lighter orange petals near the front of the bloom at the end of the season.
2025 Will be the first release of this 5th year seedling born here at Seeds of IMBOLC. She is a keeper - reliable, weather proof, floriferous, great tuber producer, long strong stems, useful colour, really holds her centre, a real 5.5'+ standout in a bouquet or in the garden. Short IG video
My introductions have the prefix HarmElle which is a comination of my 2 beautiful grandaughters, Harmony and Ellie.
Great 4" sized blooms for cut flowers with a good vase life. Changing with the seasons, beginning with peach sherbet incurved petals surrounding a golden centre, becoming more peachy orange with the cooler weather or more shade. They seem to glow with the sunset. An outstanding bloom that captures the eye of florists - she has already graced a few weddings!
I hope she captures your heart as much as she has mine.
A truly exquisite soft salmon fading to white at the tips. The effect is absolutely stunning and makes it one of the most popular varieties.4" blooms, plant 4'
