Marmorata. This George Pring hybrid was developed in 1917 from the popular water lily 'Mrs. Edwards Whitaker'. Flowers large and blue with a delightful fragrance and petals which are numerous, thin and lavender blue. Leaves are beautifully designed, light green irregularly blotched with reddish brown on the upper surface, dark densely spotted with purplish blue on the underside. Marmorata will stand out in any water garden pool. A very favorite water lily that has been a water of choice at Tricker's nursery for decades!

William Tricker (born 1853) started his commercial water lily culture in the United States in the late 1800's when he started hybridizing water lilies and studied what helps their growth. The shape, colors and hardiness of his beautiful aquatic plants have withstood the test of time.
In the early 1890's, he earned a reputation as a leader in aquatic lifeforms from hybridiing many water lilies. His water lily nursery and company, in both Ohio and Pennsylvania, was passed down tthrough his family until the 1980's when Richard Lee purchased the Ohio company. In 1892, the first William Tricker mail-order catalog was mailed to customers across the nation, and we still do, today.
