Red Lotus Flowers

Red Lotus are probably the most asked about or sought after. Something that never existed in nature but through thousands of years of selective hybridization the pinks eventually graduated into the full red category. In the USA we used to consider deep pinks as red but now we have imported and grown some fantastic true brilliant red lotus along with the deep rose red (hot pink) which were considered red in the color spectrum. See our Brilliant Red Series for the Darkest true red colors... Titan, Little Red Missing, Red Dragonfly, Chinese Red Beijing, Red Yan'an, Red Zunyi, Red Tree Peony, Chinese Red Shanghai, Chu Chu, Red Sun, are among the deepest of the reds.

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.
