Webb's Water Gardens Oriole Out of Water Lotus

A bare-root specimen means the plant is shipped without soil or a pot, with its roots exposed. This is standard for aquatic plants, but it does require you to plant it in an aquatic pot with heavy clay soil immediately upon arrival.

Because shipping can be stressful for live plants, place your lotus in a shaded area with a few inches of water for a day or two to let it acclimate. Once it shows signs of recovery, you can proceed with planting it in its permanent location.

No, this variety is specifically a late-season bloomer. You can expect to see those yellow and pink flowers from late summer through the fall, which is perfect for extending the color in your pond after other plants have finished.

Yes, this lotus needs full sun to produce its best blooms. Ensure your pond or water garden location receives at least six hours of direct sunlight daily for optimal growth.

The Oriole Out of Water Lotus reaches a mature height of about two feet. While it is relatively compact, ensure you have enough depth in your pond to accommodate the pot and allow the leaves to float comfortably on the surface.
