Genuine natural wonders

Since time immemorial, lotuses have been regarded in Asia as a symbol of beauty and purity. Lotuses give our gardens an undeniably exotic character and are often used in natural-style ponds.

The morning dew offers us a dazzling and unforgettable spectacle with its thousands of diamond pearls on the leaves and flowers. All transparent, but playing with a wide variety of colours (from pure white to yellow, pink, carmine pink, white edged with pink, etc.), its flowers are a permanent enchantment. Les jardins d'Eau invite you to discover a collection of 30 varieties.
Are you aware of all the lotus' culinary qualities? : its seeds are a much-loved delicacy, and its leaves and rhizomes can be cooked as vegetables.
