How to Plant & Care for Lotus
Description
Dan Sajin
Nelumbo nucifera
'Empress' has a large pure white single-petal flower with a jagged purple picotee. The unusual purple coloring is present on the bud, too! The flower is held high above the leaves so it makes a dazzling visual impact!
Flower Color: Versicolor, White with Purple/Pink
Plant Height: Tall, 48" and taller
Flower Type: Single or Few, less than 20 petals
Pot Size: 20" and wider, 12"-18" deep
Large lotus varieties need large pots! This is a large lotus variety that needs a pot at least 20" or wider and 12" or more in depth. Be sure to fill the pot at least half full of soil to help offer support and stability for the leaves. Deeper soil allows them to withstand strong winds and keeps the heavy flowers and buds from falling.
