Waterlily · 4–5"LavenderBoley (2007)United States

Pale lavender petals fade to white at the center, giving every bloom a soft, luminous quality that photographs beautifully and mixes with almost any palette. Strong stems and generous production make it a workhorse for cut flower growers, and the rounded, fully double blooms hold their shape through harvest, bunching, and sale. Bred by Steve and Sandy Boley and introduced in 2007. It was bred in United States by Boley in 2007.
