Nymphaea 'Siam Purple'

Hybridized By

2010-2011 by Mr. Pairat Songpanich in Thailand. Siam Purple is the world's first ISG (Intersubgeneric) purple hardy water lily.

History

Tricker's original stock came directly from Pairat Songpanich's associate in Thailand and have successfully been propagated since.

In 2007, he created the first blue/purple, named 'Siam', after the former name of Thailand. Later, an ISG hardy purple hybrid was introduced and called it 'Siam Purple'.

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.
