Chu Chu
Nelumbo nucifera
It may be diminutive, but there is a blast of eye-popping red color in this perfect little lotus. The flowers open beautifully into the open dancing style of lotus letting it dreape dramatically and sway in the breeze. A fringe of golden stamen around the bright gold receptacle add a pop of another color on this heavy bloomer which continues all summer.
