Description
Mrs. George Hitchcock Water Lily – Historic Rose Pink Variety
A Refined Classic from Early Water Lily Hybrids
The Mrs. George Hitchcock water lily is a historic hardy variety valued for its beauty and size. It descends from the famous Omarana water lily, one of the earliest hybrid water lilies. This lineage gives it strong growth and lasting appeal.
As a refined form of Omarana, the Mrs. George Hitchcock water lily enhances the original’s qualities. It offers larger blooms and a more polished appearance. These traits make it a favorite among collectors.
Large Rose Pink Blooms
This water lily produces flowers of impressive size. Each bloom opens wide and displays a soft rose-pink color. The petals form a full and graceful shape.
Because of its size, the Mrs. George Hitchcock water lily stands out in the pond. The blooms remain visible above the foliage. They create a bold focal point without overwhelming nearby plants.
Balanced Growth and Attractive Foliage
The plant develops strong green pads that spread evenly across the water. These pads support the large blooms and create surface coverage. At the same time, they allow open water to remain visible.
The Mrs. George Hitchcock water lily grows best in full sun. It benefits from adequate space to spread. With proper placement, it performs consistently through the season.
A Water Lily with Historic Value
This variety carries important water garden history. The Omarana lineage helped shape modern hybrid water lilies. The Mrs. George Hitchcock water lily continues that legacy today.

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.
