‘Mrs. Woodrow Wilson’ Tropical Water Lily

Item # 10-1064

$32.99

With its striking lavender-blue petals and sweet fragrance, the ‘Mrs. Woodrow Wilson’ water lily is a true testament to beauty. This elegant hybrid was created in 1914 by renowned aquatic plant breeder William Tricker as a tribute to the late First Lady.

The large, proud flowers stand tall above the water, presenting a visual feast of color. Contrasting yellow stamens tipped in lavender provide an alluring accent. The aromatic blooms can be cut and enjoyed indoors, infusing any space with their unusual yet delightful scent.

This variety improves on the popular ‘Dauben’ lily, exhibiting the same viviparous leaves but with greater vigor. Abundant blooms ensure a constant floral display in ponds and pools. It’s no wonder this exceptional lily received numerous awards, including three gold and silver medals.

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.
