The ornamental value of leek lotus

Against the backdrop of clusters of green leaves, the pink flowers of the leek lotus stand taller than the tips of the leaves, standing alone on top, and are extremely beautiful.

The pink leek lotus is particularly bright when it blooms, and is at its peak during the hot and humid rainy season. The flowering period is long, starting from late May and blooming intermittently until early November when the temperature drops rapidly.

It is suitable as a ground cover plant under the forest, on the edge or in semi-shade, and can also be used as a edging plant in flower beds. In the outdoor environment, it fully receives sunlight and rain, and is particularly pleasant under the sun.

In addition, leek lotus is also a good indoor ornamental potted plant in the home.

Placed on the balcony, whether it is ordinary soil cultivation or unique hydroponic chive lotus, it is very beautiful.
