How to Plant & Care for Lotus
Description
Nelumbo nucifera — bowl lotus, shipped as a dormant lotus tuber.
I love lotus, yes, I do. I love lotus, how 'bout you?. A small child's rhyme and the air filled with the sound of happy laughter. Doesn't that sound like a perfect day? Well, here's a little rhyme for your garden, a perfectly balanced little bowl lotus for your patio table or outdoor windowsill. The flowers open big and wide - this lotus is a little beauty! We recommend the pot-in-pot method if you plan to grow this lotus in a pot smaller than 8" wide. See below
At a glance
- Flower color: Red
- Flower type: Single or Few Petals, less than 20 petals
- Plant height: Small/Bowl, up 18" tall
- Container: 8" 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.
