Sacred Lotus Flowers

LOTUS TUBERS ARE SHIPPED IN March & April 

You can preorder the tubers just before shipping begins each spring. 

 

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

Each February, the lotus tubers are harvested at the Lotus farm, cleaned and sterilized. We ship lotus on a first-come, first-served basis. Your lotus tuber 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). Lotus plants are shallow, full-sun pond plants requiring as large a pot as you can provide.
