Jade in Jinling Lotus (Bare Root)

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

'Jade in Jinling' is an exquisite yellow and green lotus. The flower has broad petals and opens into a plate-like form which makes it appear very large against the deep green leaves. A dark green center receptacle is surrounded by golden filaments topped with light yellow appendages. The center petals and the sepals (outside protective petals surrounding the bud) are often bright green, especially on the 1st day flower. This variety likes the long hot days of summer better than the cool days of spring.

Pot size, soil and the rest of the method are in the lotus planting instructions.
