Dense Dew - Fresh as the Morning Dew Lotus (Bare Root)

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

Nel umbo nucifera. The lovely cup-shaped flowers of this lotus are a warm cream color blushed with violet-purple on the pointed tips. Dense Dew is perfect for growing in short but wide pots because its habit is more horizontal than most lotus. It prefers shallow water.

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.
