Lotus Berthelotii Trailing Lotus 140mm

Lotus berthelotii, also known as the Trailing Lotus or Parrot’s Beak, is a truly striking plant prized for its unique silvery foliage and brilliant fiery red to orange pea-shaped flowers that resemble a parrot’s beak. This hardy, evergreen perennial forms a soft, trailing mat of fine, silvery-grey leaves that beautifully cascade over pots, hanging baskets, or rock walls.

During spring and summer, its vibrant blooms create a dazzling contrast against the cool-toned foliage, adding a touch of drama and colour to any garden or patio display. Drought-tolerant and low maintenance, this plant loves the sun and thrives in well-drained soil — perfect for coastal gardens and contemporary landscapes.

Tip: For the best colour and dense growth, plant Lotus berthelotii in a sunny position and avoid overwatering. Lightly trim after flowering to maintain shape and encourage new shoots for next season’s blooms.
