Nelumbo nucifera — bowl lotus, shipped as a dormant lotus tuber. 'Carobee' is a subtle splash of morning sky colors poured out onto flower petals! This lotus adapts very well to a small lotus bowl but can also be potted in large pots. The flowers are changeable, starting out salmon-pink on the first day and slowly changing to extra light yellow as the flower matures. The pink color is often found in strips down the petals. A lovely lotus for a small area on your patio or outdoor window ledge. At a glance Flower color: Changeable, pink to Yellow Flower type: Semi-double to Double Plant height: Bowl/Small, up to 18" Container: 8"-18" wide, 6'-12" deep As a bowl lotus, this one settles at 2 to 12 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.
