N. Fairy Skirt
N. Fairy Skirt is a charming and nearly lost treasure from renowned hybridizer Mike Giles of West Virginia. This medium-sized hardy water lily is beloved for its uniquely shaped blooms that open fully above the water, resembling the delicate flounce of a fairy’s skirt—a truly whimsical sight in any pond.
Flowers and pads typically reach 6–7 inches across, creating a balanced and elegant appearance. Once established, the blooms stand proudly above the water surface, offering both height and beauty to your water garden.
