Hindu Sacred White Lotus (Bare Root)

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

Don't be confused by the name-- 'Hindu White' is actually extra light yellow! Beautiful, large flowers held high above deep green leaves will capture the attention of every visitor to your garden. The bright yellow-gold ring of stamen are eye candy, for sure! One of our best bloomers, this classic lotus blooms throughout the season and produces large seed pods.

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.
