Mrs. Perry Slocum Lotus – A Color-Changing Water Garden Treasure
Daily Bloom Transformation
The Mrs. Perry Slocum lotus is a stunning water garden plant celebrated for its daily color changes. On the first day, the flower opens as a luminous pink, with broad outer petals forming a platform for the shorter, frilly inner petals. Over the next few days, the petals gradually transition from pink to soft yellow and finally to a delicate cream. This captivating shift keeps the pond display fresh and dynamic.
Fragrant and Eye-Catching
Alongside its remarkable visual appeal, this lotus produces a strong and alluring fragrance. Its sweet scent draws attention and enhances the atmosphere of any pond. The combination of fragrance and changing colors makes this lotus especially popular among collectors and water garden enthusiasts.
Historic Hybrid and Legacy
Hybridized by the famous Perry Slocum, the Mrs. Perry Slocum lotus has long been admired for its beauty and vigor. Richard Lee, former president of William Tricker, Inc., praised it as “perhaps one of the best lotuses produced by the late Perry Slocum.” Our Tricker stock comes directly from Slocum’s original nursery in the 1980s, preserving the plant’s multi-colored blooms, strong fragrance, and reliable growth.

The table below shows the estimated shipping and pick-up weeks for destinations to USA states. These dates can change depending on weather and how strong the plants are at that time.
For example, a wet spring will have many clouds leading to less sunshine. Thus, the plants may need a bit longer to grow strong enough for transplanting and transit. With the planet heating up, a warm spring may help the plants grow strong enough to ship before the dates in this table.
