Lotus are seasonal plants and can only be planted
in the spring unlike waterlilies and other pond plants.
We will ship Lotus tubers with instructions about 2-3 weeks before your proper planting time to ensure a great season!
Random Hybrid Lotus seeds. Plant outside from May 15th until June 5th, file edge of seed and place in water. Follow our planting and care instructions from the Growing a Lotus from Seed page.
A package of 15 lotus random hybrid seeds that have passed the "float" test and are ready to be prepared and grown. You can start the seeds inside but, for best results, they should be planted outside as soon as they produce pink adventitious roots (little hair-like roots). Since these are random hybrid seeds produced in our nursery where more than 400 varieties of lotus are grown there is no way to predict the size, color or height of the resulting plants. Most will bloom the same summer if stated in May.
