Gwendolyn's Golden Glow Lotus (Bare Root)

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

"Good day, Sunshine...". Sunshine on a stem "” the perfect lemony yellow color on a fluffy round flower! This medium height lotus is smaller than 'Golden Apple' but larger than 'Lemon & Lime'. It features the same yellow-green tint of the first day flower, also. A robust grower, it flowers throughout the summer and will brighten you garden like a ray of sunlight. Loaded with flowers all summer! We actually introduced this lotus variety in 2023 but so many people ask for it that we are keeping it near the top of the list.

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.
