Few plants carry the majestic presence and deep historical reverence of the Sacred Water Lotus. This magnificent aquatic plant pushes enormous, highly fragrant pink and white blossoms high above perfectly round, water-repellent foliage.
Surprisingly easy to grow from our scarified seeds, a single Lotus seed can transform a simple patio water bowl or backyard pond into a breathtaking Zen sanctuary. The spectacular seed pods also serve beautifully in dried floral arrangements.
1. Soil Preparation Clear the designated planting area of invasive grass and weeds. Ensure the ground is loose and well-aerated to a depth of at least 2 inches.
2. Sowing For outdoors, wait until all danger of frost has passed. Gently press the seeds into the soil surface. Light-dependent germinators should barely be covered by a fine dusting of earth.
3. Watering Gently water the area immediately after planting using a fine mist setting. Keep the soil consistently, gently moist (but absolutely not waterlogged) for the first 2-3 weeks.
4. Care Once established, these robust plants represent nature at its finest and require very little supplemental intervention. Thin overcrowded seedlings to ensure the strongest plants reach full maturity.
