How to Plant & Care for Lotus
Description
Nelumbo nucifera ‘Huadeng Chushang’ — medium lotus, shipped as a dormant lotus tuber.
Both the leaves and blooms of this lotus are beautiful and it is well suited for growing in a pot or pond. The first day flower is Light red (pink) and the color changes each day with the center becoming a warm, creamy white while the outer tips are dark pink. When our customers walk through the greenhouses this one always stops them in their tracks! Very dependable bloomer.
