How to Plant & Care for Lotus
Description
Nelumbo nucifera — medium lotus, shipped as a dormant lotus tuber.
Extreme bloomimg. Oh yes "”- that color is real and it is scrumptious! Easy to grow and an extreme flower producer, this is one great lotus! Look for the first round of flowers to have a heavier petal count. As 'Golden Sunset' matures and temperatures get warmer the flowers will have fewer, wider petals and more intense color. We highly recommend this variety. Its smaller size makes it the perfect choice for people who don't have a large growing area. One very nice trait for this variety is that it often produces multiple flowers at the same time.
At a glance
- Flower color: Pink with orange tint changing to golden yellow
- Flower type: Few-Petal, less than 25 petals

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.
