AMERICAN WATER LOTUS
Nelumbo lutea
SKU: 1810-3
Description
Currently out of stock, awaiting for fresh seeds to be available. Please join our wait list for notification of their availability.
Large soft-yellow blooms and round leaves held above the surface of the water. These plants look tropical and exotic, yet are hardy and native to states as far north as Wisconsin. Can be grown in wet soil, or in ponds.
Rare and very limited supply.
Type: Hardy perennial water plant
Height: 60", 152cm
Location: Sun or part sun
Hardiness zones: 4-11
Seeds per pack: 3 Large seeds
Germination: Scarify the hard seed coat with sand-paper, rubbing the seeds until a small amount of white begins to show. Place the seeds in water. The seeds will begin to swell over the next few days, and soon will sprout. Once the seed sprouts, plant it just under the surface of the soil, in a pot. Gently submerge the pot in water, with the water level about 1-2" above the soil level. The leaves will form over the next few weeks. Plant in larger containers as the plant grows, and plant outside when the weather permits, after the change of frost and cold weather are far gone.
