N. Alice Henaux
A Rare and Remarkable ISG Masterpiece
Nymphaea 'Alice Henaux' is one of the most extraordinary intersubgeneric (ISG) hybrids available today—a highly limited and visually stunning variety. Its double-petaled flowers feature a mesmerizing blend of lavender-pink petals that fade to soft yellow at the center, rising above pads so lush they seem to emit a subtle blue glow.
