Princess Harper of Ten Mile Creek Lotus (Bare Root)

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

The Little Princess Series. Exclusive to our collection. A petite little beauty, this dark pink lotus is as charming as the little princess it is named after. Sometimes there are stripes of color on the petals. This lotus loves to bloom and will provide flowers throughout the summer!

The featured picture was made by Cookie (Beth Blough), Harper's grandmother, in her garden pond in New Jersey.

As a dwarf lotus, this one settles at 2 to 12 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.
