This kit contains dwarf varieties of Lotus water lilies suitable for growing in pots, patio urns, or even in your backyard pond. The kit comes with 6 yellow water lily seeds, water lily fertilizer, and complete instructions on how to grow water lilies from seed.

These seeds are dwarf varieties of Nelumbo water lilies, also called Lotus or Sacred Lotus water lilies. Using the supplied fertilizer you can grow these in any ceramic pot or other non-permeable container that holds at least one gallon of water and is at least 12" wide (the bigger the better). You can also use a glass water lily bowl available at most local larger craft stores. These do require weekly maintenance which includes replacing the water in your bowl.

Please note - most water lily seeds sold on Etsy are Nymphaea water lilies which will not grow in pots or patio urns.

Lotus lilies can be grown year-round indoors as long as they have at least 6 hours of sunlight. Outdoors they do require warmth to germinate and here in zone 7 we start them indoors in late April and move them outside to our patio in mid-May. In your backyard pond they are cold hardy to zone 5.

The seeds do require some prep work to get them to germinate and usually only 50% of seeds successfully germinate to form lilies. Complete instructions will be provided with your kit. The seeds germinate and grow quickly, but they will take approximately 90 days to flower. There is enough fertilizer provided for a one gallon pot to flower for one outdoor growing season, or approximately 6 months.

Lotus water lilies are perennials and sometimes they do take two growing seasons to flower. Similar to growing Dahlias, you can pull the root system and store over winter in water for most zones.

The seeds arrived quickly and with great instructions which I really appreciate! However, it is HARD to scar it down to the membrane like it says to do before putting in water. I do have a few with sprouts still attached to the seed, but a few of them separated and floated to the top. I hope to get a 50% success rate, so we will see!

See package & instructions arrived in a timely manner. Instructions are easy to read & follow. They're right about those seeds being like little coconut pods... very tough to scrape through, but I managed using my concrete driveway. So, 3 out of 6 seeds have produced sprouts. I'm excited to see how they grow. I've got a container ready to move to the next step, per the instructions. My hope is to be successful in creating a small multi plant outdoor water garden!
