Hardy Water Lotus
The hardy water lotus is the most admired of all pond plants, with its elegant graceful flowers, rich colors, and huge leaves. It's no wonder they are a customer favorite. All our water lotus are shipped as tubers. Water lotus are very easy to grow, but need to be fertilized monthly as they are big feeders. They can also be invasive; therefore they need to be potted.The water lotus is perennial pond plant growing from a rhizome tuber. Its rounded leaves can reach large sizes up to 22" inches in diameter. The first leaves that appear, are flat and float on the ponds surface.
They are followed by thicker, tube shaped leaves with wavy edges that may stand anywhere from 2' to 4' feet above the water. The lotus leaves are coated with a waxy film, upon which water forms glittering droplets. The thick flower stalk grows above the leaves ending in large strong smelling white, pink, or red blooms, appearing one at a time. Each flower lasts from 3 to5 days and gets darker with age. Ranging in size from 4" to 7" inches. Every pond should have atleast one water lotus. "Water lotus planting guide"
