Thousand petals lotus is produced in yuquan temple, Dangyang County, Hubei Province. Its leaves and stems are not obviously different from ordinary lotus flowers, but there are many petals and rich shapes. Each flower often has about 1000 petals, and the petals overlap, from large to small, and the closer it is to the flower center, the denser it is, hence the name "Thousand-petal Lotus". It blooms in midsummer every year for nearly 3 months. The petals are dark purple at first and gradually fade. When the flowers are pink, they begin to fade.
The flowering period of Trollius chinensis is very long. If it is properly maintained, it can bloom for at least half a year. Some plants are stronger than others, and they can even bloom for 7-8 months.
