Sacred Lotus Seed, Medium to Tall Sacred Nelumbo from Asia. Lotus Seed is NOT genetically stable, as a tuber would be from vegetative reproduction. The genetics are not consistent even if the flower was self-pollinated. Therefore, Lotus seed can vary greatly from the Mother plant to the baby. We recommend that if you want an exact copy of the plant in question, always go by tuber rather than seed, as the plant's DNA will be stable and not change.
Our Lotus Seed comes with a Growing Guide for planting seeds. The week and month in the Northern Hemisphere are crucial if you want to overwinter this plant.
You should not transplant the seedling from one small pot to a larger one. After germinating, it should be planted in its final container for the year.
Yes, seedlings can bloom the first year, though, unlike tubers, they won't always. They still need full, uninterrupted, full-day sunlight; in order to bloom, you should not have any other plants growing with their pot or above their pot in the water.
Want to know more, including the short six-week time frame you have each year to grow lotus for blooming and overwintering? The instructions are sent with every set of seeds!
