How to Plant & Care for Lotus
Description
Nelumbo nucifera ‘Zhongguohong Zunyi’ — medium lotus, shipped as a dormant lotus tuber.
Another brilliant red lotus in the Chinese City Series by Master Ding Yueshueng, Red Zunyi has rounded petals around a golden receptacle and dark, lush green leaves. Zunyi produces a more compact plant and is perfectly suited for growing in slightly smaller spaces than all of the other in the Red City Series other than Shanghai which is a medium-sized lotus. Red seed pods can be removed and used in dried flower arrangements to add a pop of color for a few weeks (they will eventually turn brown).
At a glance
- Flower color: Brilliant Red
- Flower type: Single or Few Petal, less than 20 petals
- Plant height: Medium, 30"48"
- Container: 20" and wider, 12"-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.
