How to prune nymphaea 'attraction'

Throughout the growing season for dead leaves and spent flowers; spring for division. Cut yellowed pads and spent blooms at the base of the stem with a sharp knife or scissors, pulling the cut stem clear of the water. Avoid leaving stubs that rot and deplete oxygen.

As needed throughout the season; divide every 3–4 years. Hardy water lilies like 'Attraction' need minimal pruning. Remove yellowing or dying leaves and spent blooms by cutting the stem as close to the rhizome as possible, ideally underwater, to prevent rotting stems fouling the pond. Divide congested rhizomes every 3–4 years in spring to maintain vigour.
