睡莲,在美国水池园艺中被广泛应用,且在众多水生花卉中独领风骚。一个多世纪以来,经不断研究、开发,成绩卓然。美国土生野生睡莲在中部偏北几个州的有些河流、池沼中依然生存着。至于早期一些园艺品种则在17世纪时经由欧洲移民引入,并培育、发展。1881年新泽西州的爱特门突·斯图尔脱帆脱(Edmund D.Sturtevant)出版了美国第一本水池园艺目录,其中辑录入7个睡莲品种,有一个名为‘玫瑰星’(Rose Star)的热带睡莲品种迄今仍继续保留在各地水栽植物苗圃的销售目录中。1885年,有一位曾在英国邱(Kew)植物园工作过的威廉姆·屈立哥(William Tricker)来到美国继续从事研究睡莲池栽和容器栽植工作。旋后于1895年成立以自己的姓名为商号的公司,专事经营传统水生植物及一些相关物品。他是美国第一位从事热带睡莲杂交育种者,于1916年逝世,毕生培育出许多优良品种,如‘巴拿马·太平洋’(Panama Pacific)、‘蓝美人’(Blue Beau-
Water lilies are widely used in American pool gardening and dominate in many aquatic flowers. For more than a century, after continuous research, development, outstanding performance. Native American water lilies are found in some rivers in the north of the central part of the country, where they still live.

In 1885, William Tricker, who had worked at the Kew Arboretum in England, came to the United States to continue his studies on the cultivation of water lily ponds and containers. After setting up in 1895 with its own name for the firm, specializing in the operation of traditional aquatic plants and some related items. He was the first American hybrid of tropical water lilies and died in 1916 and has developed many fine varieties of life such as the Panama Pacific, Blue Beau-
