Nelumbo Nucifera Lotus

This is a robust variety that requires significant room to grow. You will need a container at least 20 inches wide and 12 to 18 inches deep to support its root system and allow the plant to reach its full height of 48 inches or more.

Yes, 'Perrys Giant Sunburst' thrives in full sun. For the best bloom production and healthy foliage, ensure the plant receives at least six to eight hours of direct sunlight daily.

The plant is shipped as a bare root tuber. This is the standard, healthiest way to transport lotus, as it allows the plant to establish itself directly in your pond environment upon planting.

You can look forward to blooms from mid-summer through autumn. Because this is a large-growing variety, it focuses its energy on establishing foliage first, so patience is key during the early growing season.

We strongly recommend planting it in a container. Using a pot allows you to control the soil quality and makes it much easier to manage the plant's growth and maintenance within your pond.
