We searched the world over for tiny new lotus to add to our line-up and here is a great one. 'Tiny Girl' is a exquisite of bowl lotus hybridized by Yileen Gardens. The perfect little flower has vibrant color and a lovely shape. Choose a small bowl and grow this on your balcony or patio table. 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: Red
• Flower type: Single or Few Petals, less than 20 petals
• Plant height: Exquisite of Bowl Lotus (Micro, Mini), 6"-12" tall
• Container: 6" and wider, 4"-10" deep

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.
