Pond Plants of America Princess Abby Lotus

A bare-root specimen means the plant is shipped without soil or a pot, with its roots exposed. This is a standard, healthy way to transport aquatic plants, as it allows you to inspect the root system and plant it directly into your preferred aquatic soil or container.

Yes, this variety is specifically bred for its compact size, making it an excellent choice for smaller containers, bowls, or patio water features where larger lotus varieties would quickly outgrow their space.

The Princess Abby is known for its prolific blooming habit. With proper sunlight and consistent water levels, you can expect multiple flowers to emerge throughout the entire summer season.

Yes, the blooms feature a unique color shift. They start as a buttery yellow in the center and transition to soft pink or white at the edges as the flower matures, creating a dynamic look throughout the blooming cycle.

Lotus are relatively low-maintenance but require full sun—at least six hours of direct light daily—to bloom well. You will need to ensure the water level remains consistent and occasionally add an aquatic fertilizer tablet during the growing season to support its prolific flowering.
