Super - Our #1 Blooming Lotus (Bare Root)

Nelumbo nucifera ‘Juwuba’ — large pond lotus, shipped as a dormant lotus tuber.

Featured again in 2024 because this lotus is truly outstanding!

The best - IT Blooms and blooms and blooms. Yes, you really want this lotus! Possibly the best blooming lotus at the nursery with multiple flowers all through the summer. Starts early and blooms until summer is over!

Super has such beautiful color and form. Open this lotus by hand when the bud gets big and fat for a perfect flower every time. The first day flower is mostly pink, the second day flower is white with pink tips and the third day flower is perfectly draped and solid white. It has a lovely fragrance, too!

Don't have room for a large lotus? Try Phoenix Feather 13. The flowers are almost identical to Super in color and shape but the plant is a small/medium height. You can also open the flowers by hand just like Super!

As a large pond lotus, this one settles at 12 to 24 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.
