Nelumbo Nucifera 'Princess Abby' Lotus

A micro lotus is specifically bred to thrive in small containers rather than large, deep ponds. This variety stays compact, making it perfect for patio bowls or small water features where a standard lotus would quickly outgrow its space.

Once your tuber arrives, it should be planted immediately in a shallow container with aquatic soil and submerged in a few inches of water. Ensure it receives plenty of direct sunlight, as lotus plants require significant light to trigger their blooming cycles.

Yes, this variety is known for its repeat blooming cycles. As long as the plant is kept in a sunny location and provided with proper aquatic fertilizer, it will continue to produce new buds throughout the warm summer months.

While it can be placed in shallow pond areas, it is best to keep it in a container even when submerged. This prevents the tuber from spreading uncontrollably and makes it easier to manage the water depth and fertilization needs.

Lotus plants are sun-worshippers and require at least six hours of direct, unfiltered sunlight daily. Without sufficient light, the plant may produce foliage but will likely fail to set flower buds.
