American Lotus Seeds (Nelumbo lutea) – Native Water Lotus Flower Seeds for Sacred Waterscapes

Discover the serene beauty and historical power of the American Lotus (Nelumbo lutea) — a native aquatic perennial revered for its stunning blooms and sacred roots. Often called Yellow Lotus, Water-Chinquapin, or White Lotus, this emergent water plant offers more than ornamental appeal. With luminous white to pale-yellow petals rising above the water’s surface, it transforms ponds and wetlands into spaces of quiet majesty.

These American Lotus Seeds are a gateway to cultivating your own sacred water garden. Native to the U.S. and historically used by Indigenous tribes as a food source, this plant’s edible roots and seeds were once a valued staple. Today, it remains a symbol of purity and resilience — deeply rooted in the mud, yet blooming in absolute grace.
