Description

Victoria trickeri has pads that can reach 6′ diameter and curl up 8″ at the edges  have a light-green color on top with purple underneath. Get one for your larger pond or calm lake.

The enormous flowers are creamy white in the evening of the first day and closes around mid-morning. On day 2, the flower opens about 4 p.m. and is a deep pink.

It doesn’t need high-water temperatures as other Victoria. In temperate regions, the Victoria water lilies are treated as annuals and require treatment as tender nymphaea.

Victoria trickeri can grow in large or medium sized pools under the right conditions. It’s a fast grower, and under optimal growing conditions, a spectacular scene will appear in  your water garden pond.

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.
