Nelumbo nucifera
WHITE LOTUS

Water Lotus are one of the most cherished of the water plants, and a treasure to grow if you have space. These seeds are for the large white water lotus! They are reaching 9" across! Leaves can reach 2 feet (60cm) in diameter, and plants are 4-6 feet tall. Generally water lotus are grown at the edge of ponds, in mud, or in pots within a pond. The soil level can be above the water, or to 9" below the surface. In tropical regions plants bloom year round. Plants are hardy outdoors in zones 4-10.

Did you know? Water Lotus (botanical name nelumbo) are quite different than Water Lillies (botanical name nymphaea). Water lily plants are fully submerged plants, with the roots (and/or pot) being 1-4 feet under the water surface and flowers and leaves are usually floating on, or just above, the surface of the water. In contrast, the Water Lotus is a bog plant, meaning that the roots are in very wet soil, or are just barely submerged in a few inches of water. Lotus flowers are held several feet above the ground level, and plants are several feet tall. The flowers are also quite different.

Water Lotus have the characteristic round disc in the center of the flower, which makes them easily distinguishable! Lotus seeds are very large, and water lily seeds are very small. We have provided these descriptions as there is often confusion between the two plants, and to help you find what YOU are looking for, to suit your needs and location!

Height: 4-6 feet
