Flamingo - Red Stamen Lotus (Bare Root)

Colossal fiery red flowers that refuse to fade away! The broad petals of 'Flamingo' are perfectly accented by a shiny yellow gold receptacle that is surrounded by red or pink anthers on golden stamen. This is one hot lotus!

As a large pond lotus, this one settles at 12 to 24 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.
