How to Plant & Care for Lotus
Description
Nelumbo nucifera ‘Fen Dai’ — bowl lotus, shipped as a dormant lotus tuber.
Glowing colors as beautiful as the sunrise with yellow-orange petal bases and pink petal tips make 'Little Pink Beauty' one of the most unusual lotus we grow. The flower has a perfect cup shape. 'Little Pink Beauty' is well-suited for smaller pots. Shallow water is a must!
A little slow to start in the spring but once the weather heats up it will produce lots of flowers. The picture with multiple flowers had two tubers placed in a 12" pot.
The proper name for this lotus is actually 'Pink Beauty' but since there is also a large cultivar with the same name we added the descriptive word 'Little' to help avoid confusion.
At a glance
- Flower color: Pink
- Flower type: Semi-Double, 21-50 petals
- Plant height: Exquisite of Bowl Lotus (Micro, Mini), 6"-12" tall
- Container: 6" and wider, 4"-10" 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.
