How to Plant & Care for Lotus
Description
Nelumbo nucifera ‘Chushui Huangli’ — dwarf lotus, shipped as a dormant lotus tuber.
Blooms early and often. A green oval-shaped bud opens into a cheerful light yellow flower. The petals usually have a small green spot of the apices. This lotus blooms early and continues late into the summer and early fall so it may produce flowers long after other lotus have finished. Always dependable!

- Flower type: Single or Few Petals, less than 20 petals

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.
