Cuddlin Caroline – Sweet Caroline (Nelumbo nucifera) Lotus Tuber

Nelumbo nucifera

 The name is a little different from the lotuses named after the first four granddaughters because there is already a lotus registered as Princess Caroline. When it’s time for bed our sweet baby Caroline draws you back for one last hug and kiss by looking at you with the sweetest expression on her face and saying, “Cuddle Caroline.”  ?

This brilliant red, single petal lotus, once known as Hybrid T20,  produces many flowers and blooms throughout the summer. It is just as irresistible as its namesake!
