Lotus 'Mrs. Perry D. Slocum'
Nelumbo nucifera 'Mrs. Perry D. Slocum'
Mrs. Perry D. Slocum Lotus is an aquatic perennial with flowers that change colour as they age. Starting pink, they change to yellow by the third day. Since Mrs. Perry D. Slocum is a strong, free-flowering lotus, it can sometimes have three different coloured blooms at the same time. As a bonus, the flowers have a very pleasant anise fragrance. The pads are wavy and grey-green in colour.
Lotuses grow and flower best with full sun and benefit from regular fertilization.
