Sacred Lotus Flower seeds

The Sacred Lotus (Nelumbo nucifera) is more than just a stunning aquatic perennial; it is a living symbol of resilience and purity. Renowned for its ability to emerge from murky waters to produce pristine, wax-coated blooms, the lotus has been revered for millennia across various cultures. Its large, umbrella-like leaves stand high above the water's surface, featuring a unique ultrahydrophobic texture that causes water to bead and roll away, taking dust and debris with it. Whether you are looking to create a serene water garden or a dramatic focal point in a large container, the sacred lotus offers an unmatched architectural beauty that evolves through the seasons.
 
Growing Nelumbo nucifera from seed is a rewarding journey into botanical history. These seeds are famous for their incredible longevity—some have been known to germinate after centuries of dormancy! Once established, the plant rewards the patient gardener with fragrant, multi-petaled blossoms in shades of glowing pink and creamy white, followed by iconic, decorative seed pods that are highly sought after for floral arrangements. Hardy and vigorous, the sacred lotus transforms any pond into a meditative sanctuary, bringing a touch of ancient elegance to the modern landscape.
