Jade-like Snow Mini-Lotus (Bare Root)

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

Jade-like Snow is a tiny little lotus with a beautiful multi-petal flower. The color is so peaceful and calm -- the perfect combination of white with just a touch of pink and green on the outer petals. We found this bowl/mini lotus to be a good free-blooming variety, producing several flowers throughout the summer. It has a nice compact growth habit so it looks super in a tiny pot!

As a bowl lotus, this one settles at 2 to 12 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.
