How to Plant & Care for Lotus
Description
Nelumbo nucifera — bowl lotus, shipped as a dormant lotus tuber.
This one is hot! Lots of Flowers. This sassy little red lotus will brighten up your day! Fire Red is a single-petal bowl lotus with really vibrant color. The ring of orange stamen is such a perfect complement for the bright red petals. It grows about 18" tall in a 5 gallon pot but would be fine in an even smaller container.
At a glance
- Flower color: Bright Red
- Flower type: Single or Few Petals, less than 20 petals
- Plant height: Small, Bowl, 12"-20"
- Container: 10" and wider, 4"-10" 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.
