Golden Phoenix - Lovely Yellow Lotus (Bare Root)

Nelumbo nucifera — large pond lotus, shipped as a dormant lotus tuber.

Jin fenghuang. What a gorgeous lotus flower. 'Golden Phoenix' is extra light yellow-green. The receptacle is yellow with a green top or the center may be petaloid. The outer petals are much longer and broader than the inside petals. The petals will stack gracefully on an older flower, always a desired trait.

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.
