Common Name: Red Tiger Lotus

A beautiful and very varied species from West Africa with leaves of green to red-brown and varying numbers of purple spots. Can grow from 20-80 cm tall. Before forming floating leaves, Nymphaea zenkeri forms many underwater leaves. The beautiful, aromatic flowers can be fully appreciated in open aquariums. A beautiful center piece plant for larger aquascapes and is one of our favorites!

Note: This plant is not available in the US by Tropica.
