Lotus

Attractive medium to large plants with giant nasturtium-like leaves. Often regarded as edible aquatics. However, we do not guarantee the taste of the ornamental cultivars as they are bred for the flowers, not for taste. Requires more space to grow than waterlilies. Flowers can be large and attractive. Should be planted similarly as for waterlilies but in a pot not smaller than 400mm in diameter. Sold in the form of tubers. These tubers are very brittle and will not grow once it is damaged. Dispatch only between late August to late October. Not available at other times.
