Hybridized By

1929, Bob Sawyer of William Tricker, Inc.® is given credit for this beauty. the William Tricker nurseries introduced this special hybrid sometimes known as 'Lindy'. Bob Sawyer had a hobby as an avid car racer and boat racer in the latter 1920s, so no wonder he would name this special lily after the daring aviation career and pilot Charles Lindberg.

The table below shows the estimated shipping and pick-up weeks for destinations to USA states. These dates can change depending on weather and how strong the plants are at that time.

For example, a wet spring will have many clouds leading to less sunshine. Thus, the plants may need a bit longer to grow strong enough for transplanting and transit. With the planet heating up, a warm spring may help the plants grow strong enough to ship before the dates in this table.
