Description
Nelumbo nucifera — bowl lotus, shipped as a dormant lotus tuber.
Gu Lang Xiao Hong. 'Tiny Red Gulang' is named after a county in China located in central Gansu province. The deep red color of the first day flower is delightful-- but be prepared for a never-ending kaleidoscope of color changes as the flower ages going from red to pink to white! Every day is a color surprise The flat plate-like shape of the flower makes it look huge on the tiny plant when it blooms.

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.
