Phoenix Feather 13 - Crazy Good Bloomer Lotus (Bare Root)
Nelumbo nucifera — medium lotus, shipped as a dormant lotus tuber.
Laura's Favorite List. Opens Beautifully by Hand. Phoenix Feather 13 reminds us of Charming Lips because of the ball-shaped bunch of petals in the center. The color is extraordinary! We did not see the problem of the center petals turning brown on this variety so it is definitely a keeper for us!! The compact medium size will command its place in your garden while not overpowering other plants. Super good bloomer, too! Perfect for cut flower arrangements because you can cut a full bud and get a perfect flower when you open it fully by hand once home!

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.
