Description
The Nymphaea 'Texas Dawn' is a large water lily perfect for large ponds. Its star-shaped flowers rise 25 cm above the water from May to September and even October. They measure about fifteen centimetres in diameter and are yellow with a pink tint at the base. Their lemon-scented fragrance will surprise you. This hardy aquatic plant can be planted in the sun, submerged in 40 to 90 cm of water directly in the mud, a basket, or a container.
The hybrid water lily 'Texas Dawn' is a horticultural creation by Ken Landon (USA) dating back to 1990, named in homage to the state of Texas. It is one of the most beautiful yellow water lilies! From the Nymphaeaceae family, it is a perennial aquatic plant with deciduous foliage. Its floating leaves appear in spring. They are large, reaching 20 to 23 cm in diameter. They are quite round, green, and dotted with purple. The plant, particularly vigorous, spreads over 1.5 to 1.80 m. It is a particularly floriferous variety. Its flowers constantly repeat from May until September and even October. The flowers rise about 25 cm above the water level. They measure 15 to 20 cm in diameter and emit a pleasant fragrance. The corollas open during the day and close at night. Its petals are rather long and thin, yellow with a pink tint at the base, surrounding a golden yellow stamen. Each flower lives for 4 to 5 days before wilting and being replaced by a new one.
This water lily, 'Texas Dawn', floriferous and vigorous, is perfect for large bodies of water. It is hardy as long as its rhizome and the surrounding water do not freeze in winter. It blooms for long weeks, from late spring to early autumn. It is also an essential aquatic plant for maintaining the balance of a water feature, as it contributes to water oxygenation. Its floating leaves provide shade and shelter for fish and a platform for dragonflies and amphibians. Along the edges of your water feature, combine the yellow flowers of your Water Lily with blue-flowered Japanese Irises like 'Activity' or 'Illumination'. Add verticality and originality to the ensemble with Equisetum hyemale or Juncus effusus Spiralis.

Planting and care
The rootstock of the Nymphaea 'Texas Dawn' cep should be planted a few centimetres deep, at a depth of 40 to 90 cm of water. Hardy water lilies tolerate winter harshness better if the pond depth is at least 50 cm. The water should not freeze at the depth at which they are planted. In shallow ponds, planting in a container is possible. In this case, the rootstocks in damp sand are protected from frost in winter. Plant them in good garden soil, preferably rich, by inserting them vertically until the collar. Avoid using horticultural compost, which is too rich. Planting the rootstocks in a basket about 40 cm wide is also possible. Sink the basket in the desired location and weight it if necessary. Plant your rootstocks promptly after receiving them. Choose the sunniest area and allow at least 1 m between each rootstock. This variety tolerates partial shade.
In the case of a natural water feature (pond or lake), ensure that the water level remains relatively stable and that the water is neither too acidic nor too alkaline (pH between 6.5 and 7.5).
If there are fish in your pond, spreading a thick layer of coarse gravel around the base is preferable to deter them from digging up the rootstock.
Water lilies are hungry plants. Every year, at the beginning of the growing season, apply a slow-release fertiliser that will nourish your water lily throughout its growing period (for example, Osmocote 10-11-18-2 with a duration of 5-6 months).
During the summer, remove any leaves that may grow excessively in the centre of the clump, keeping only the most beautiful ones. Remove those that are yellowed or stained.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
