Featured Lotus Varieties
Below are the varieties of lotus plants curated by our horticulture team that you can expect to find at the sale:
- East Lake Pink (single-petaled, deep pink): Beyond their gorgeous pink hue, this variety also produces large seed pods suitable for floral arrangements.
- High Cotton (multi-petaled, white): These elegant lotus flowers gently unfold with layers of pure white petals.
- Yimeng Red (single-petaled, red): This variety offers tall blooms at about 48 inches or more, with bright red petals.
- Perry’s Giant Sunburst (single-petaled, light yellow): These huge flowers—like bigger than your face big—will steal the show as they offer a steady supply of blooms.
- Beautiful Dancer (single-petaled, pink and yellow): This “bowl lotus” is a miniature variety, growing just 6-12 inches tall! Blooms starts as a vivid pink, changing into light yellow with pink edges as it matures.
Beautiful Dancer is the only variety here that grows best in a pot. All the rest can be grown in pots or ponds.
