Blue and Purple Tropical Water Lilies

Blue is a calming hue that can bring tranquility to your water garden. Many of the blue tropical water lilies we enjoy today were first hybridized in the late 1800s by William Tricker and his family, pioneers in aquatic horticulture. Their enduring legacy lives on in these graceful blue blooms, found only among tropical water lily varieties. With their timeless beauty and rich history, blue tropical water lilies remain captivating additions to any water feature.
