Nelumbo nucifera
Shui Yun Xia
Plant Height: Mini/Bowl (depending on pot size)
Flower Color: Pink
Flower Type: Single-Petal, less than 25 petals
Pot Size: 6"-12" wide, 4"-7" deep
A charming miniature lotus with an enchanting color transformation, Shui Yun Xia opens rich, rosy pink on its first day, creating a striking display against its fresh green leaves. As the bloom matures, the petals gradually soften to a delicate, lighter pink, giving the flower an entirely new look from day to day. Its graceful, open form and changing colors make it especially captivating.
Best of all, this little beauty stays truly miniature, making it an excellent choice for very small pots and containers. A perfect lotus when space is limited but you still want a flower with plenty of personality!
