Little Cutie Pie Lotus (Bare Root)

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

'Southern Sayings' Hybrid. A thimble-sized little puff of pink cuteness!

We're not exactly sure what a cutie-pie is but when that phrase is used you know that there is a diminutive little person of immense attractiveness and spunky personality being described! Therefore, it is the perfect name for this new little member of our 'Southern Sayings' line of lotus. This exquisite of bowl lotus will grow very well in a small bowl but will flourish in a 10"-14" diameter bowl. The small single-petal flower is sweetly pink.

• Flower color: Pink
• Flower type: Single or Few Petals, less than 20 petals

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.
