White Pear Flower Mini Lotus (Bare Root)

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

Micro Lotus. This tiny little lotus is perfect for a very small pot! A lovely light yellow lotus whose petals drape downward when fully open, 'White Pear Flower' has a prominent green receptacle or yellow-green petaloids. This lotus wins the award for having the strangest rhizomes. The internodes of the rhizomes are round like bubblegum balls linked together. 'White Pear Flower' prefers shallow water and small pots. It is one of the first varieties to bloom in the spring.
