Description:

Nelumbo nucifera ‘Mrs Perry Slocum’ is a breathtaking, multi-petaled sacred lotus known for its dramatic colour shift — opening soft pink, fading to creamy yellow, and finally maturing into a delicate blush. This variety produces large, fragrant blooms above bold, waxy leaves that rise proudly from the water’s surface.

This plant establishes well when given consistent warmth, full sun, and still water. As a more sensitive and heat-loving lotus, it performs best when placed in a sheltered, sunny spot and left undisturbed once planted. Ideal for ponds, water features, and collectors seeking a premium showcase plant.

*IMPORTANT NOTES*

• Do not disturb the root system in the summer months, can be transplanted in the winter month when the tuba is not fragile. 
• The aerial foliage must not be submerged.
