Tropical Lotus
Lotus, sacred flower of the Hindus, produces round aerial leaves that stand 18
Lotus require many weeks of sunny, warm weather, large containers and rich soil in order to bloom well, although they are HARDY to Zone 5. Sometimes they produce only aerial leaves in their first year. They will spread rapidly in natural ponds if planted deep enough to protect the rhizome from freezing. A water depth of 1" to 2" over the soil line is ideal in spring. As growth becomes established, water depth may be increased to 6-8". NOTE: Supply is always limited and orders are filled in the order in which they are received. Please allow for substitutions. Lotus rhizomes are sometimes difficult to get established. Please handle carefully and follow directions closely.
Available in White, Yellow, Light Pink and Dark Pink
