Moonlight On the River Lotus (Bare Root)

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

Shimmering, subtle color! 'Moonlight on the River' is a changeable --it changes color day by day. The first day flower is an unusually lovely shade of soft pink but the flower turns to a moonlight yellow as it matures. It glows like a full moon on a cool, clear night!

As a medium lotus, this one settles at 6 to 18 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.
