Product Description

Lemon & Lime Lotus (Bare Root) offers a unique color-changing experience in your garden! This variety showcases stunning green flowers early in the season, transitioning to a beautiful buttery yellow shade as the weather warms up. The mounded flowers are held high above the leaves, featuring showy dark green petaloids at the center.

Please note that the rhizomes for Lemon & Lime Lotus are on the smaller side and may be a bit more challenging to grow, making it ideal for experienced gardeners. The flower color is a vibrant yellow, with a plant height ranging from 12" to 20". This multi-petal variety boasts more than 50 petals and is recommended for pots that are 12" and wider, and 8"-14" deep.

For those looking to grow Lemon & Lime Lotus as a mini lotus, simply leave a note in the comment section at checkout stating "TO BE GROWN IN SMALL POT". Directions for planting as a micro lotus using the Pot-in-Pot Method are provided below for your convenience.

When it comes to fertilizing your lotus, we recommend using conventional fertilizer tablets or loose prills that release quickly when water is added. Wait until the lotus plant has several floating leaves or begins to put up aerial leaves before adding fertilizer. Choose a high-quality fertilizer such as Waterlily World Tablets, Pondtabbs, or Landon's Aquatic Fertilizer, following the instructions carefully based on the size of your pot and soil.

If using a slow-release fertilizer like Nutricote 14-4-14, make sure to follow the package directions for the appropriate amount. Place the fertilizer around the bottom of the pot, then add soil and plant the rhizome. Avoid using 360-day fertilizer as it releases for too long, impacting the lotus' ability to form rhizomes when it goes dormant.
