Xin Jin Xia Lotus (Bare Root)

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

Last but not least! We highly recommend this one!

Love, Love, Love this one. Huge flowers. 'Xin Jin Xia'. What a spectacular addition to the collection! Huge, delicately colored violet-purple tipped flowers with a spicy scent begin blooming early in the summer and continue all summer. The broad outer petals are the perfect stage for the burst of color in the center. These flowers are perfectly organized and are lovely in floral arrangements.

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.
