A note on our labeling: We're updating this listing to correctly reflect its true botanical identity. For some time, our labels — like most in the herbal market — named this plant Nymphaea caerulea, the Egyptian blue lotus. That wasn't intentional; it's a mislabeling that runs across the industry, and by most estimates, the vast majority of "blue lotus" sold in the U.S. is actually this Asian species, not the true Egyptian water lily. We appreciate your understanding as we correct our labeling and website to reflect what this plant actually is.
Asian blue lotus stamens in bulk for all your various needs. These are sourced from Sri Lanka — the native range and national flower of Nymphaea nouchali — and represent an isolated, concentrated part of the plant compared to whole flowers or mixed petals and stamens.
Ideal for spiritual, aromatic, ceremonial, and research purposes, these stamens come from a plant with centuries of documented use in Ayurvedic and Siddha traditions and Buddhist symbolism across South and Southeast Asia.*
