Sing Birdie Sing Lotus (Bare Root)

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

Love a classic lotus? This one is for you. Absolutely perfect! Lots of flowers. Perfect for growing in a small pot. Spectacularly beautiful! We just love this versicolor lotus! The lovely white petals are rimmed in deep purple-pink. Flowers are present much of the summer and it grows really well in a pot on your patio! We suggest using the pot-in-pot method when growing this lotus in a pot less than 8" wide - see below.

At a glance

• Flower color: Versicolor (White and Pink)
• Flower type: Single or Few Petals, less than 20 petals
• Plant height: Bowl, up 13" tall

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.
