Golden Autumn Lotus (Bare Root)

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

'Golden Autumn' is a wonderful extra-light yellow lotus which blooms early and often. The green petaloids sometimes found on early spring blooms stand in stark contrast to the yellow petals. Later in the summer a green receptacle offers the same beautiful color to the flower. Although best grown in a pot 16" or wider, 'Golden Autumn' can also be grown in a small pot. It will bloom beautifully in a 10-12" diameter pot.

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.
