Patricia Garrett Lotus (Bare Root)

Nelumbo nucifera — large pond lotus, shipped as a dormant lotus tuber.

Patricia Garrett is an American hybrid that has withstood the test of time. The large versicolor flower has flying, dancing form and is held high above the leaves for maximum visual impact. The blend of pinks and yellows on the petals is very pleasing. This is a large variety that needs room to grow!

As a large pond lotus, this one settles at 12 to 24 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.
