Frequently Asked Questions
Find helpful answers about lotus seed preparation, flowering, and aquatic cultivation.
How do you prepare Double Petal Lotus Seeds for planting?
Lotus seeds have a very hard outer coat that usually needs scarification before soaking. Carefully file a small section of the coat without cutting into the inner seed, then soak it in warm water. Change the water daily and keep the seeds warm until they swell and begin to germinate.
Will lotus plants grown from Double Petal Lotus Seeds produce double flowers?
Flower form can vary when lotus plants are grown from seed, particularly when the seeds come from a named ornamental cultivar. Double flowers are not guaranteed unless the seed source reliably preserves that characteristic. Confirm the expected flower form and cultivar information with the supplier.
Can Double Petal Lotus grow in a container instead of a pond?
Yes. Lotus can grow in a suitably sized, watertight container with aquatic soil and adequate water. Choose a container appropriate for the variety's mature size, provide abundant sunlight, and maintain warm growing conditions. A container without drainage holes is generally preferred for growing lotus as an aquatic plant.
