How to Plant & Care for Lotus
Description
Nelumbo nucifera — medium lotus, shipped as a dormant lotus tuber.
Huoyan 14. Looking into the throat of this lotus will remind you of the changing colors found in fire. Yellow, red-orange, red on narrow petals with pointed tips look like a flame on a cold winter night. The flowers, often present in multiples, are held very high above the leaves and it blooms all summer long. Flame 14 produces very large tubers.

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.
