Description
This variety of Nelumbo nucifera is a seedling of lotus bred in China as improved edible root lotus.
It is bred specifically for its very large fat tubers. It hardly ever flowers.
It is also a very large plant with very large leaves.
This plant is more difficult to grow than our other lotus and needs a larger area in which to grow. Many of our other lotus will grow in 33cm flower buckets fairly happily, this lotus will need a minimum of double that area if not more.
