Siam Ruby - Flaming Red Color Lotus (Bare Root)

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

BAM! Flaming Red Color in a very small lotus!

We never have enough Siam Ruby to meet the demand!

This red, hot lotus is a Winner. Siam Ruby is a bowl/small lotus with massive blooming power! It literally blooms all summer long. The flowers are very dark red and the shape is uniform and never gets shaggy. Thank you to our friends at Buafah Gardens for this superlative hybrid! We grew it the second year in a larger pot and it produced much larger flowers and tubers but it grows and blooms very well in a 10" diameter pot suitable for a micro lotus.

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.
