‘William Falconer’ Hardy Water Lily

Item # 10-3038

$45.99

This ‘William Falconer’ Hardy Water Lily has deep red flower — so deep that they have been described as turning black. The name of the water lily was selected in honor of William Falconer who was Curator of the Botanic Gardens in Cambridge, MA and later the Director of Schenley Park, Pittsburgh, Pa. William Tricker & James Brydon were close friends of his.

Many nurseries offered this marvelous hybrid in their mail order catalogs. Peterson Henderson, well known botanist in his 1906 historic booklet The Culture of Water Lilies and Aquarium Plants also showed a beautiful photograph of a grouping of the William Falconer water lilies in a pond.

You’ll enjoy this historic water lily hybrid that has lasted decades. It’s a delightful hardy water lily and is extremely hardy in winter.

Spring Shipping Schedule: Preorder Season Expected Ship Dates

This is the expected shipping weeks for preorder season that is about December through April. Plants cannot be shipped until they are strong enough for transit and the weather from Ohio to you is warm enough so that the lifeforms can survive overnight stops. If the spring weather is sunny and warm in northern Ohio, then some plants may ship earlier. If the spring weather has a lot of storms, cloudy weather and is cool, then some plants need a tad more time to get strong enough for transit.
