How to Plant & Care for Lotus
Description
Nelumbo nucifera — lotus, shipped as a dormant lotus tuber.
A tiny dancer in the sun. The flower of this new introduction changes from a fresh pink to white with pink tips. The collar of bright yellow stamen and golden yellow receptacle are the perfect complement and will draw your eye and approval every time! The small size of Twinkle Toes makes it ideal for a small decorative pot. The early season flowers may have more petals than normal and then settle into a lovely single-petal flower when the plant matures and the weather gets warm. Growing it in an extra small pot, 6"-8" in diameter, will result is a smaller 'micro' lotus.

As a 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.
