Felida Mermaid

Felida Mermaid is graceful from every angle, and she brings the broad, gently cupped petal shape that gives waterlilies their charm. Bloom size is still being tracked at Hedge & Alchemy. Waterlily blooms show pink waterlily, with broad, gently cupped petals arranged in a graceful waterlily form.

Bloomed at Hedge & Alchemy in our 2026 garden.

Wild and pretty! Mine all developed blown centers, but the bees absolutely loved them. Long stems, too.
