Haven't planted them yet
These seeds are perfect! Grew fast and produced large, healthy lotus leaves already. I’m hopeful for beautiful blooms soon!
Took a bit longer to germinate, but the plants are looking great now. Growing well in a shallow water pot. Would buy again.
The lotus seeds germinated well and are now thriving in my backyard pond. Elegant blooms and calming presence. Very satisfied!
