N. Tong Longya
A strikingly artistic and rare hardy water lily, N. Tong Longya features deep green pads brushed with vibrant yellow highlights, creating a look that appears hand-painted on the water’s surface. While it is a slow grower and a modest bloomer early in the season, its true beauty emerges mid to late summer, often beginning to bloom in late July through August—a perfect reward for the patient gardener.
This unique hybrid makes a refined and elegant late-season statement in any pond or water feature.
