Water lily icon Mrs. Robert Sawyer - Tricker Water Lily Hybrid

Mrs. Robert Sawyer - Tricker Water Lily Hybrid
Item #: 10-1070

'Mrs. Robert Sawyer' waterlily was hybridized at William Tricker, Inc.® by Robert Sawyer in 1927 and is known as the FIRST pink tropical water lily of the viviparous type, all others at that time being blue. It is proudly written in our 1927 mail order catalog: "This lily has a gorgeous, full petaled flower much larger than other viviparous types, and it surpasses all other pink tropical lilies in depth of coloring. The plant is vigorous in growth and free flowering." The plant does well in semi-shaded conditions.

About Tricker's
Store Hours
America's Oldest Water Garden Specialist established in 1892
In the later 1920s and 1930s Tricker delivered aquatics locally with trucks to customers. This practice is still done today.

William Tricker, Inc.® is a leading grower of aquatic plants, supplier of water garden products and aquarium supplies. Our aquatic greenhouses have produced superior plants for over a century. Customers have been receiving quality aquativ plants and animals that make water gardening easy and fun to do. Purchase with confidence at Tricker's.

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.
