Waterlily Collection

Our Waterlily House was completed in 1852, and is now a listed building, brimming with aquatic plants and tropical fruit. Our lily pads can grow up to two meters wide, with large and fragrant flowers that only last for 48 hours.

Kew's waterlily collection is designed to inspire curiosity and awe, so you can take a slice of these beautiful acquatic plants home with you.
