Little Dancing Empress - Delicate Pink Lotus (Bare Root)

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

Nishang Xiaoqu 13C. A petite lotus perfect for a small decorative pot. Try growing this one in a very small bowl for an even smaller lotus. The delicate pink of the flowers is particularly pleasing, especially when the center becomes petaloid, forming a pink and green crown.

As a dwarf 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.
