Piano Melody - Music in the Air Lotus (Bare Root)

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

This delightful flower with flying, dancing petals and lovely color will become one of your favorites. It blooms well throughout the summer and the flower is large in comparison to the medium plant. The petals are long and narrow, a soft creamy white with pink tips. When the wind blows they almost look like they can spin.

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.
