N. Gabriel's Bliss
N. Gabriel’s Bliss is a refined and well-balanced peach-hued hardy water lily hybridized by Timo Gabriel of Germany. This charming variety is a compact grower, ideal for smaller ponds or container water gardens. Its flowers are a delicately sculpted double star shape in soft peach tones—elegant and understated.
What truly sets this hybrid apart are its vivid tie-dye patterned pads—a unique blend of green, yellow, and purple that creates a painterly effect across the water’s surface. While Gabriel’s Bliss may be a modest bloomer, its foliage alone makes it an exceptional display feature.
