From our grower: “Somebody forgot to tell ‘Pearls on a Red Plate’ that it is supposed to act like a bowl lotus and only produce a couple of flowers! This little lotus blooms, and blooms, and blooms some more! It is a small lotus but grows perfectly in a pot between 8-10” wide and about 6” deep so that it can be moved inside for your pleasure when it is blooming (always move it back outside because lotus thrive in full light and lots of heat). We have also grown ‘Pearls on a Red Plate’ in much smaller pots which reduces the overall size of the lotus; however, it did not slow down the number of flowers! Highly recommended!” It is a beautiful multi-petal pink lotus with darker pink, almost red picotee edges.
