Colorful Glow Lotus (Bare Root)

Nelumbo nucifera ‘Jinxia’ — medium lotus, shipped as a dormant lotus tuber.

Colorful Glow has a rainbow of different shades on the same flower, from vibrant pink to soft gold. The name is perfect because the color in this flower almost glows. We have found it to be a particularly good bloomer in late summer when the temperature is hot.

As a medium lotus, this one settles at 6 to 18 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.
