NEW! North American Spadderdock, two species: Cape fear and Round leaf Spadderdock

Spadderdock, (Nuphar lutea) is native to North and South Carolina, and has bright yellow flowers when grown outside. It does not flower in the aquarium. This water lily grows from a thick tuber and under moderate light is relatively easy to grow.

The Cape fear spadderdock looks something like its Japanese cousin, Nuphar Japonica, except the leaves are more elongated. They have the same translucent green texture and wavy edges, in fact the wavyness is more pronounced on the Nuphar lutea than the Nuphar japonica. The round leaf spadderdock is a different variant specie of N. lutea.
