Introduced in the 1890's by the noted George Richardson of Lordstown, Ohio, from his establishment near the current location of Tricker's. You can read about George Richardson and M. Marliac in Tricker's 1101 Water Gardening Questions and Answers book sold here.
World famous M. Marliac's French business sold this water lily showing it's a true test of worthiness from an American hybridizer. After decades of growing acres of water lilies, George Richardson said "This … I consider the most perfect Water Lily in existence".

Botanical Name

Nymphaea 'Richardsonii'

This table 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.
