Red Doll - Small but Sassy Lotus (Bare Root)

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

Bright, cheerful flowers on a baby-doll sized plant! Perfect for those with limited space, 'Red Doll' will grow in a very small pot and produce perfect little red flowers. It reminds us a lot of 'Sparks', a small few-petal lotus that is famous world-wide!

As a bowl 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.
