The Lotus (Nelumbo nucifera) is a stunning aquatic plant renowned for its large, vibrant blooms and sacred symbolism. Native to Asia, the lotus thrives in still or slow-moving water, making it a perfect addition to ponds, water gardens, or large containers. Available in red, white, and pink varieties, its blooms float gracefully above rounded, waxy leaves. With proper care, a lotus plant can create a serene and striking focal point in any garden.
