How to Plant & Care for Lotus
Description
Nelumbo nucifera — medium lotus, shipped as a dormant lotus tuber.
Wu Cai Yun Xia. Sometimes you just run out of adjectives but ' Painted Clouds' is so much more than just another pretty pink lotus! Layer upon layer of pink stained petals almost look like a bridal bouquet waiting to be carried down the aisle. The flower is so lovely and has a sweet scent.
This lotus is also called Colorful Clouds but there are two lotus with the same translation so we changed the name slightly to avoid confusion.
At a glance
- Flower color: Pink
- Flower type: Multi-petal, more than 50 petals
- Plant height: Medium, 24'-47"

As a medium lotus, this one settles at 6 to 18 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.
