How to Plant & Care for Lotus
Description
Nelumbo nucifera — medium lotus, shipped as a dormant lotus tuber.
Jing Yi Hong Shang. Want something really different?. The vibrant color of the first day flower of 'Brocade on Red Cloth' is especially unique and lovely! Wide petals with very warm red/orange color circle the golden receptacle surrounded by large milky stamen. As the flower ages these petals appear more elongated--it looks like a totally different flower--but both are stunning. The seed pods are perfect for dried flower arrangements. Look for Lots of flowers throughout the summer.
One of Laura's favorites because it is so different!

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.
