A Rich History and a Vibrant Future:

The lotus, Nelumbo nucifera, holds deep cultural significance across Asia, symbolizing purity, enlightenment, and rebirth. While its precise origins are shrouded in ancient history, the Red Peony variety is a result of careful cultivation and hybridization, showcasing the best traits of this majestic species. Bring this revered symbol of beauty and serenity into your own space and experience its timeless appeal.

Thriving in Indian Climates:

The Red Peony Lotus flourishes in the warm, sunny climates prevalent across India. To ensure optimal growth, plant your lotus rhizome in a pond or container with a minimum depth of 18-24 inches of still or slow-moving water. Choose a location that receives at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily. The rich, loamy soil found in many parts of India is ideal, enriched with compost for added nutrients.

Special Care for Exquisite Blooms:

Container: Use pots or containers with a minimum 24 inches diameter and 15 to 18 inches depth. Fiber, plastic, or concrete containers are suitable, as they retain heat. Blooms tend to be bigger if the container is wider.

While relatively low-maintenance, the Red Peony Lotus appreciates a few special touches to reach its full potential. Regularly remove decaying leaves and flowers to prevent disease and maintain water clarity. During the winter months (depending on your specific region), you may need to take extra measures to protect the rhizome from extreme cold. Ensure the water doesn't freeze solid, and consider covering the container with insulating material if frost is expected. Maintaining optimal water quality – clean and free of excess algae – is also key to a thriving lotus. Fertilizing with a slow-release aquatic plant food once a month during the growing season can further enhance the plant’s health and abundant flowering.
