Nelumbo 'Shu Yue' is a refined "Micro" variety, prized for its cooling, sophisticated color and tiny proportions. Unlike the "Giant" varieties like 'Torch of Nanjing' that tower over the garden, 'Shu Yue' is a specialist "Bowl Lotus" designed to stay low and compact. It produces lush, multi-petaled flowers in a rare shade of creamy white with a distinct greenish-yellow tint at the heart. This variety is perfect for the gardener who values ​​subtle, serene beauty over bold, bright colors. It creates a peaceful, refreshing atmosphere in the smallest of spaces.

Note: Because of its ultra-compact size, 'Shu Yue' is the premier choice for growing in a patio container as small as 6 to 10 inches wide, such as a decorative porcelain bowl on a sunny table.
