Nelumbo nucifera

Wild Indian Lotus

NOTE: The name Lily or Lotus is a common name which will represent many different botanically types of plants that will have all different sizes of seeds- this is normal - this is how nature made them ==This is a hard to germinate seed for experienced gardeners only



This perennial aquatic plant is best known as Lotus and produces very large leaves that float on water surfaces. Stunning pink blooms grow atop thick stems above the leaves. Flowers last about 3 days, opening in the morning and closing at night. Dried flower pods resemble watering cans and are used in decorative arrangements. Winter hardy to zone 4 otherwise protect from severe cold.



For water gardens or small ponds, plant roots in large containers or planting baskets with up to 24” of water covering the crowns. Container grown plants are easier to maintain making it easy to move if necessary. For larger ponds, roots may be anchored directly in the soft, muddy bottom where, once established, they will spread and colonize. In fall, containers submerged in very shallow water that is less than 6” should be moved into deeper water or brought indoors to a basement, root cellar, greenhouse or other frost-free area for overwintering.
