Lotuses are among the most impressive plants you can keep in your garden. Their flowers are splendorous, their foliage is huge and immaculate. Many civilisations attach great symbolic meaning to Lotus. The main reason for this is the fact that lotus holds its flowers and foliage high above the water surface and that they are always clean, even if the water is murky or muddy. In this way Lotus became a symbol of chasteness. Lotus is not only adored, it is also widely used. Almost every part of the plant is edible, and in Asia the tubers of lotus are used like potatoes are in Europe.

If you think that Lotus is a very demanding plant and can’t be kept successfully in Central Europe, please let us convince you otherwise.
