Buy Medium Height Lotus Varieties

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.

Our Medium height Lotus are a narrow category, these grow roughly 36 to 48 inches tall, can handle up to 5 inches of water when planted and need a 16 to 24 inch wide pot for best blooms. 
Large lotus are 48 inches to over six feet tall. Usually the larger the lotus also the larger the blooms. Large lotus can take up to 10 inches of water when planted but still benefit from being started from tubers in more shallow water. All lotus need full sun to bloom. See our detail Lotus planting and growing instructions.
