Beauty Zang Lotus (Bare Root)

Nelumbo nucifera — bowl lotus, shipped as a dormant lotus tuber.

All the colors found in a warm summer evening sunset paint this little lotus like a queen. She is tiny but powerful, blooming over and over throughout the summer. The flowers are such a perfect combination of pink and yellow that they almost shimmer. The flowers are a visual treat with perfect petal arrangement and separation. This petal layering makes the flowers look large and allows for air to move freely through the petals which makes them dance in the breeze and helps keep the inside petals from staying too damp and turning brown. Beauty Zang is perfect to grow in a small pot.
