How to Plant & Care for Lotus
Description
Nelumbo nucifera — bowl lotus, shipped as a dormant lotus tuber.
We fell in love with this one. Feather Skirt is an unusual versicolor bowl lotus. The flower has a luminous color that is slightly orange, in fact, it is sometimes called Carrot Lotus. The outer petals are pointed like a star. The double-petal flower is medium/large compared to the plant as a whole. The colors are very unique and beautiful. Lots of flowers!
At a glance
- Flower color: Versicolor, Mostly Pink
- Flower type: Multi-petal, more than 50 petals
- Plant height: Bowl, up 13" tall
- Container: 10" and wider, 4"-8" deep
As a bowl lotus, this one settles at 2 to 12 inches of water over the crown once established — start a new tuber under 2 to 4 inches and raise the level as it pushes aerial leaves, with the growing tip left uncovered. Pot size, soil and the rest of the method are in the lotus planting instructions.
