Hello,
I grew a lotus (nelumbo) plant from seeds, but when the flower bloomed, it doesn’t look like a lotus you normally would envision (see pic). The seller said that lotus doesn’t grow true from seeds and that the colors will not resemble the parent. I can’t find anything on the internet about his claim, but does anyone have experience with propagating lotus from seed and having the flower look like a different species?
TIA

Not being true to the parent when grown from harvested seeds happens. Different genetic make up unlike clones which are true to their "parent". Exact copy.
