Nelumbo nucifera ‘Large Versicolor’ — large pond lotus, shipped as a dormant lotus tuber. Purple! Very unusual. Huge creamy white flowers (10"-14") with a jagged picotee of purple along the outer edge of the petals. The inner petals are tipped with green. Even the bud carries a splash of purple making this one of our favorite large lotus. If you are really lucky you might get one of these rare flowers with a giant purple stripe! At a glance Flower color: Versicolor Flower type: Multi-petal, more than 50 petals Plant height: Tall, 48" and taller Container: 20" and wider, 12"-18" deep As a large pond lotus, this one settles at 12 to 24 inches of water over the crown once established — start a new tuber under 2 to 4 inches and raise the level as it pushes aerial leaves, with the growing tip left uncovered. Pot size, soil and the rest of the method are in the lotus planting instructions. Browse more multi-color lotus or see every large pond lotus we carry.
