What Is Red Lotus?

Red lotus is a flower that originated from the Nile and Palestine. All lotus that we offer for sale is gathered from sustainable sources. Our red lotus is sustainably sourced from Thailand. Lotus works well both on its own and when combined with other herbs.

Lotus is often confused with water lily, and although the plants are often sold interchangeably, it is important to know the difference. The pink and white lotus which we carry are true lotus plants. Our red and blue lotus are in the water lily family, although they are often referred to as lotus and used as such. Most plants referred to as lotus will have a similar effect, with only subtle differences between them.
