How to Plant & Care for Lotus
Description
Nelumbo nucifera — bowl lotus, shipped as a dormant lotus tuber.
Agua in Belgium. Named hybrid. Twinkle, sparkle and pure delight - this little lotus is truly a gem! It produces beautiful flowers on a lovely but very compact plant. The leaves are a deep true green providing the perfect contrast for the pure white flowers that are dusted with gold at the base of the petals. This lotus will stay around 13" tall when grown in a small bowl. Pick your favorite outdoor table and enjoy this beauty all summer. Plus, it is small enough to be easily carried indoors for a few days at a time when the buds open! Many miniature lotus will prove difficult to grow but 'Diamond Dust' has proven itself to be a resilient and hardy lotus during test trials.

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.
