Description
Trickeri Water Lily – A Historic Hardy Classic
A Timeless Water Garden Favorite
The Trickeri water lily stands as one of the most historic and respected hardy water lilies ever introduced. For more than one hundred years, this remarkable variety has adorned water garden pools with its refined beauty. Its combination of elegant flowers and richly textured foliage continues to attract pond enthusiasts today.
Distinctive Foliage with Rich Texture
One of the defining features of the Trickeri water lily is its striking foliage. The large lily pads display a glistening emerald green surface on top. Beneath the water, the pads deepen to a darker green shade. Each pad shows fine teeth along the edges and prominent ribs with numerous veins. This detailed texture adds depth and visual interest across the pond surface.
The foliage forms a balanced canopy that enhances the pond’s appearance. It also provides helpful shade, which can support clearer water and offer protection for fish.
Elegant Rose Pink Blooms
The flowers of this variety bloom in a soft rose pink, creating a beautiful contrast against the green pads. The blossoms rest gracefully on the water’s surface and bring a refined charm to any pond setting. Their classic color suits both traditional water gardens and historic pond designs.
Reliable Growth and Pond Benefits
As a hardy water lily, the Trickeri water lily returns reliably each season. It establishes well and improves in performance over time. The plant grows steadily and blooms consistently when placed in full sun. Its pads help reduce excess sunlight in the pond, which can assist in limiting algae growth.
A Water Lily with Historic Roots
William Tricker hybridized this notable water lily in 1893. He proudly introduced it at the Chicago World’s Fair, also known as the Chicago Columbian Exposition. This debut secured its place in aquatic plant history and helped shape modern water gardening.
A Classic Worth Growing Today
If you appreciate heritage plants with proven performance, the Trickeri water lily makes an exceptional choice. Its lasting beauty, dependable growth, and rich history ensure it remains just as captivating today as it was over a century ago.

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.
