White Chrysanthemum Lotus (Bare Root)

Nelumbo nucifera ‘Bai Ju’ — medium lotus, shipped as a dormant lotus tuber.

Yes, the name says white but the flower is creamy white or extra-light yellow. Look for the green blush on the extremely light yellow double flowers that bloom all summer. This lotus has the added attraction of producing good seed pods. 'White Chrysanthemum' bounces back and forth between a Tall height and a Medium height lotus.

As a medium lotus, this one settles at 6 to 18 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.
