Leafy Ceylon is a trusted blue lotus flowers supplier from Sri Lanka, offering beautiful whole dried blue lotus flowers for herbal tea, plus petals and milled flowers, in bulk and private label. Herbal tea brands, botanical wholesalers, candle, bath and cosmetic brands and décor retailers choose us for vivid blue-violet flowers with golden centres, independently laboratory-tested batches and friendly export support from sample to shipment.
Blue lotus is the beautiful blue water lily Nymphaea caerulea, admired for its star-shaped blue-violet petals and bright golden centre. Kew’s Plants of the World Online treats it as Nymphaea nouchali var. caerulea. It is a true water lily, a different plant from the pink sacred lotus (Nelumbo nucifera).
Few flowers have a richer story. Ancient Egyptians called it seshen and painted it on temple walls as a symbol of the sunrise and rebirth. Blue lotus petals were even woven into the floral collars found with Tutankhamun, now kept at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. In Sri Lanka, the blue water lily, nil manel, is the island’s national flower.
Whole dried flowers: full, open flower heads with golden centres, perfect for herbal tea and beautiful in gift packs, candles, bath blends, décor and botanical retail.
Petals: soft blue-violet petals for herbal tea blends, soap and bath products, pressed-flower crafts and resin art.
Milled flowers: a fine, even flower powder for tea bag blends and cosmetic and fragrance product development.
