Green Clouds Lotus (Bare Root)

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

We consider ' Green Clouds' to be one of our best-performing white lotus. A green tint to the tips of pistil petaloids makes this beautiful lotus unusual. With flowers found nestled among deep green leaves, it is one of the first lotus to bloom in the spring and will continue to bloom all summer. 'Green Clouds' is one of our best-selling white lotus.

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.
