How to Plant & Care for Lotus
Description
Nelumbo nucifera ‘Large Brocade Edge’ — bowl lotus, shipped as a dormant lotus tuber.
Lots of flowers. One of the top blooming lotus varieties on the farm! This beautiful white lotus with ruffled "brocade" petals produces an almost steady display with multiple flowers. The green bud is tipped pink and there is a delicate hint of pink on the 1st day flower. Da Jin Bian adapts well to smaller bowls and still blooms very well.
At a glance
- Flower color: White
- Flower type: Multi-petal, more than 50 petals
- Plant height: Bowl/Small/Medium, 10-30" depending on pot size
- Container: 10" and wider, 6"-12" deep
As a bowl lotus, this one settles at 2 to 12 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.
