Golden Apple Lotus (Bare Root)

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

Warm, buttery yellow that will remind you of a crisp golden apple, and a nice full flower make this a great addition to our lotus catalog. This flower has a beautiful shape and works well as a cut flower. This lotus is a splendid bloomer! It is classified as a large lotus but it stays more in the medium range for us so it is an easy fit for most garden settings.

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.
