Alba Grandiflora Water Lotus
ALBA GRANDIFLORA – Alba Grandiflora is also known as Asiatic. This lotus has single white blooms and under ideal conditions grows 5-6 feet.
Blooms can reach 6-7 inches in diameter.
Lotus are a wonderful addition to any Koi pond or fish pond. They are a good choice especially if you have large Koi that nibble on your Hardy water lilies or Tropical water lilies.
Lotus Plant Care:
- The Lotus plant should be fertilized sparingly for the first year.
- Too much fertilizer may cause the Lotus foliage to burn.
- A Lotus plant that is established can be fed every 3 or 4 weeks during the growing season.
- Care must be taken when inserting fertilizer tabs, because the growing tip and new growth can be damaged.
- It is important to protect the Lotus roots from freezing.
- Lotus can winter over in the pond if the pond depth is below the freeze line for your area.
- In late fall, the yellowed foliage should be cut off and the plant lowered to the deepest part of the pond.
- Or you may lift the tubers after the plant has died back during the fall.
- If you lift the tubers, store them in a cool, frost-free location until late spring.
- To help prevent mildew and rotting, store them in living sphagnum moss
