Banana Water Lily (Nymphaea mexicana)
is a favored food of canvasbacks, ringnecks, and redheads. All of the puddle ducks love its tasty tubers and seeds. You can establish this excellent waterfowl food in fresh and
brackish water ponds, slow-moving channels, lakes and reservoirs. It can be
easily established on your property and will soon be attracting waterfowl to
your property. The fruit, which contains from 4 to 60 seeds the size of a
grain of Milo, are produced in addition to the starchy, banana-like tubers
that the ducks love. You will also have a trove of invertebrates that will
only add to the waterfowl food supply.
Banana Water Lily is most easily established in the winter and early spring
when the plants are dormant. We are taking orders now for the 2010
shipments. We will send you detailed planting instructions with your order.
