Leopardess - Tropical Water Lily
Item #: 10-1007 Leopardess. Introduced by
hybridizer Martin Randig in 1931, with very fragrant, unusual cobalt
blue, medium sized blossoms. Leaves are deep green, spotted and striped
with maroon, one of the deepest marked
leaves among the varieties of water lilies. It is a easy grower and
produces an abundance of aromatic flowers during the growing season. If
you want to have an outstanding plant, with mottled leaves then this is
the one for you! Also, do not forget to review our 2014 introduction of
Pink Sapphire water lily that rivals the Leopardess
in the class of mottling pads. Purchase both, and you will have a
wonderful collection of a cobalt flowered and contrasting pink flowered
water lily with truly strikingly mottled pads to show case your water
garden pool!

Tricker's Has a Long and Interesting History
William Tricker (1853-1916) was an originator of commercial water lily culture in the United States. He began experimenting in the later 1800s growing and hybridizing water lilies. He improved the shape, colors and hardiness of these beautiful aquatic plants.
In the early 1890's, he hybridized magnificent water lilies gave him a reputation as a lead grower of aquatic plants. He established a water lily nursery and company. In 1892, he introduced the first William Tricker catalog. This rare 1892 William Tricker Catalog as well as other water garden historic relics are still with the company.
Many hybrid water lilies were introduced and named by these noted individuals and are still available today. Some are unique and "first of a kind" in their respective classes and can be purchased from William Tricker, Inc.®.
