cheapseedsllc Lotus Flower Seeds

Yes, lotus seeds have a very hard outer shell that needs to be scarified—or gently filed—to allow water to penetrate and trigger germination. Detailed instructions on how to safely do this are included with your purchase.

You can absolutely grow them in containers. As long as the container is watertight and provides enough depth for the roots to establish, a decorative pot or tub works perfectly for a patio water feature.

Lotus are sun-loving plants that thrive in full sun. For the best results and consistent blooming, ensure your pond or container receives at least six hours of direct sunlight daily.

The packet contains an assortment of seeds, but because they are mixed, we cannot guarantee which specific colors will sprout from the five seeds provided. You will likely see a beautiful, varied display, but the exact color distribution is random.

While lotus seeds require a bit of patience and specific preparation, they are very rewarding to grow. If you follow the provided germination instructions carefully, they are quite manageable for someone new to aquatic gardening.
