Sacred Lotus Flowers

LOTUS WILL NOW ONLY BE SOLD IN SEASON

DURING SPRING MONTHS 

Lotus cannot be shipped after May. 

- Lotus are grown from dormant Tubers. Disturbing a lotus during the growing season can kill the plant
(the hollow runners breathe air and breaking runners kills the lotus plant)
- Vegetative reproduction is the only way to genetically keep a hybrid true to name.

Each February the tubers are harvested at the Lotus farm, cleaned & sterilized and set in a giant commercial refrigerator. We ship lotus on a first come first serve basis. Your lotus may come early but is easily kept in the refrigerator until proper planting time (about 50 at night and 75 to 85 in the day). They are shallow, full sun aquatic plants requiring as large a pot as you can provide.

These are large varieties of lotus they grow above 4 feet tall in properly planted containers. Some varieties can grow 6 to 7 feet tall in the south were spring and early summer nights are very warm. Cooler nights lead to much less growth in height. All lotus are sent as dormant tubers in March through early May with excellent planting instructions. Lotus cannot be shipped as grown plants like lilies and marginals as they are not to be moved when in the growing stage. Our tubers are excellent quality and should have no issue blooming the first year planted. Each tuber ships with multiple growth tips.
