How to Plant & Care for Lotus
Description
Nelumbo nucifera 'Qian Shumei', bowl lotus, shipped as a dormant lotus tuber.
Qian Shumei is a tiny bowl lotus with slender petals that open upward and outward like small porcelain cups. Availability is very limited.
The petals are mostly creamy white, warming to golden yellow at the base. The edges and fine veins are traced in clear pink, which gets stronger at the pointed tips. A neat ring of pale stamens surrounds the golden-yellow center, and the warm center shows through the thin white petals.
At a glance
- Flower color: Bicolor (white with pink)
- Flower type: Single, fewer than 25 petals
- Plant height: Bowl (micro to mini)
- Container: 6" and wider, 4"-10" deep
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.
