This is by far the largest of the Nymphoides. Its leaves can grow to 12" in diametera nd its flowers are larger, have more petals, and are fringed, instead of being plainly edged. You would almost think that they are from Texas because they are so large. But they are not. Instead, they are from India, as the name implies. As with all of the Nymphoides, this one can be planted as a specimen plant, albeit only in larger ponds. Unlike most of the rest of the Nymphoides, though, this one is entirely inappropriate for small tub gardens. ITs flowers are produced from beneath the leaf, as with N. cristata. These flowers have 7-9 petals, though, instead of the standard 5. As the season winds down, the plants reduce to tuber clusters and most of the original stems die off, allowing the offspring to drift away to their fates. The should be stored in the winter, even in areas with mild winters. Even we, in San Diego, have to bring them in each year or we lose them. Definately something to have in your pond. A real conversation ZONE 8 piece.
