How to Plant & Care for Lotus
Description
Nelumbo nucifera — medium lotus, shipped as a dormant lotus tuber.
A delightful medley of rich colors. False Moonlight has a rainbow of different shades on the same flower, from vibrant pink to glowing yellow gold. This lovely flower is a stable variation of Moonlight Over Qinhuai that we received from a grower in Vietnam. It grows and flowers very well for us. Early spring flowers usually have petaloids instead of ovules and often have a lovely 'crown' but when the weather gets hot the flowers will produce a regular seed pod with viable seeds.
At a glance
- Flower color: Versicolor Pink to Yellow
- Flower type: Multi-petal, more than 50 petals
- Plant height: Medium, 24'-47"
- Container: 18" and wider, 10"-18" deep
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.
