Collection: Yellow or Green Lotus for Sale

Yellow is the color of the second of the two lotus species. Nelumbo Lutea is the native North American lotus. All hybrids stem from either or both the pink Asian sacred lotus or the North American yellow lotus.  There are white and red lotus but the color spectrum all stems from the two species hence you will not find any blue or purple lotus. The ' Blue Lotus of the Nile is a waterlily. Remember when searching for that plant that it was called lotus before plants were classified and the historical name confuses people into assuming it is a lotus. Here is a wonderful list of hybridized yellow lotus.

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.
