Nuphar variegata is a cultivar of the aquatic genus Nuphar, known for its submerged, deciduous perennials with floating ovate or rounded leaves. This cultivar thrives in full sun or partial shade, favouring west- or south-facing aspects in both exposed and sheltered locations. It grows best in poorly-drained, acid clay or loam soils and is hardy to UK zone H7. The singular, globular flowers emerge slightly above the water surface during spring and summer. Suitable for wildlife gardens, Nuphar variegata is propagated by division and should be planted in aquatic compost at an appropriate depth.
