A symbolic aquatic plant
The sacred lotus is an aquatic plant known for its large pink or white flowers that open above the water. Its round leaves naturally repel water thanks to their particular surface. This adaptation allows the plant to remain clean despite its humid environment.
At the Jardin de Valombreuse, the sacred lotus can be observed in the basins of the botanical garden. This plant loves warmth, calm water, and good sun exposure. Very present in Asian culture, the lotus is also cultivated for its beauty and its symbolic value.
