    havent got a pond yet.( did think of) otherwise i would really want to have a lotus like this ! gorgeous !

  • velveteagle replied

    You can make one in your yard if you bury a thick plastic garbage can and fill it with dirt except for the last 10 inches the rest water .. Keep it almost full and add plant food too it..

  • coffeetea

    coffeetea

    i will think this as a little project:), must find the right place and way…. then i will talk to you about the seeds 2 or 3 :)) thanks for the kindness, susan

  • velveteagle replied

    Ok.. No problem.. I plan on building a big garden of lotus and many many more flowers.. We have been planting flowers and trees and bushes since 1980.. We provide many things for all living things to live in or feed on..

  • Jan Bickerton

    This made me smile, glorious!
    I managed to germinate a lotus seed once, but it’s far to chilly here in the UK, even in the greenhouse.

  • velveteagle replied

    These type of lotus are very hardy as long as there is a foot of water over them in the winter.. we get temps of -10 degrees Fahrenheit .. The warmth of the earth keeps the roots from freezing in the water.. Glad you liked this..
