Sjeme Tea Cup Lotus Seed Seed  (50 per packet)

The round leaves, up to 3 feet across, float on the surface of the water early in the season but subsequent leaves rise on tall stalks to 6 feet in height. They are a beautiful glaucous green and water droplets bead up on their surface for an attractive and intriguing display. The giant flowers (up to 10 inches across) are delightfully perfumed and open in mid to late summer. Ease of care of lotus: Easy. Lotus contains chemicals that decrease swelling, kill cancer cells and bacteria, reduce blood sugar, help the breakdown of fat, and protect the heart and blood vessels. Chemicals in lotus also seem to protect the skin, liver, and brain. Use for gardening, home gardening, terrace gardening, nursery. A lotus makes a dramatic focal point for a larger water garden, although there are dwarf types that adapt to medium-size pools. The cone-shape seed pods are often used in dried flower arrangements.
