Olympic Lotus (Bare Root)

Nelumbo nucifera ‘Aoyun Lian’ — medium lotus, shipped as a dormant lotus tuber.

Perfection. An elegant lotus with sophisticated color and style, Olympic Lotus is creamy white with a faint blush of purplish-pink on the edges of the petals. The leaves are an extra deep green, acting as the perfect foil to the lovely blooms.

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.
