Product Overview
Deacon -- Pink Hardy Water Lotus (Nelumbo cultivar)
Deacon is a very large, robust lotus with very large, strong pink blooms. Deacon is also a great bloomer! If you want to make an amazing statement, even from a distance, this is your lotus!
Because of its stature and frequency of bloom, Deacon makes a great specimen plant in a large water feature, and can go in deeper water than most lotus.
SIZE: Large (5-6+')
Planting Container: We recommend a 4 1/2 Gallon Solid Planting Container or larger.
Light Requirements: FULL SUN
WATER DEPTH: 6" TO 24" (Maximum water depth is for mature lotus)
USDA HARDINESS ZONES: 4-11
Lotus are sold as bare root tubers, or sometimes later in the Spring as runners with small leaves. The growing points of both tubers and runners are fragile, and must be handled very carefully.
