History

This was the first double white hardy water lily in the world.
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".

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.
