How to Plant & Care for Lotus
Description
Nelumbo nucifera ‘Xiao San Se’ — dwarf lotus, shipped as a dormant lotus tuber.
Perfect for short growing seasons. The first lotus blooming almost every year! Lots and lots of perfectly shaped classic flowers due to shortened, multi-branching inter-nodes! 'Little Tri-Color' starts blooming in early spring and blooms all summer. The petals are long and held separately so it is easy to see and enjoy the three colors - yellow in the center changing to white in the middle and then pink at the tips. The first day flower is almost totally pink. Easy to grow!

As a dwarf 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.
