Purple Starburst Water Lily – 2019 Tricker Hybrid
The Purple Starburst Water Lily is a striking 2019 Tricker hybrid that brings bold color and artistic flair to any water garden. From the moment it blooms, this unique variety captures attention with its dramatic blend of warm yellow tones and rich purple hues. Its distinctive coloration and modern hybrid background make it an exciting choice for collectors and pond enthusiasts alike.
A Stunning Blend of Yellow and Purple
The most captivating feature of the Purple Starburst Water Lily is its extraordinary petal coloration. Each petal begins with a soft yellow base that gradually transitions into a vibrant purple toward the tips. This smooth color shift creates a starburst-like effect that gives the flower its name. As the bloom opens fully, the contrast becomes even more pronounced, making each flower appear almost hand-painted.
At the center, glowing yellow stamens add warmth and brightness, enhancing the overall depth of color. Because of this luminous center, the flowers appear to glow when viewed in full sunlight.
Elegant Form and Garden Presence
The blooms sit beautifully on the water’s surface, offering excellent visibility from multiple angles. Their balanced shape and bold coloring allow them to stand out without overpowering surrounding plants. As a result, this variety works well both as a focal point and as part of a mixed planting with other water lilies.
In addition, the foliage provides a classic green backdrop that allows the flowers to remain the star of the display throughout the growing season.
Ideal for Ponds and Water Gardens
The Purple Starburst Water Lily performs well in small to medium ponds and can also be used effectively in larger water gardens. It thrives in full sun and responds well to regular fertilization, rewarding growers with consistent blooming. Furthermore, its reliable growth habit makes it suitable for gardeners with varying levels of experience.
Whether you are expanding a collection or searching for a standout water lily with modern appeal, this 2019 Tricker hybrid delivers color, elegance, and lasting beauty.

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.
