Want to buy a Lotus & Tropical Lily

Posted by mattmathis 8a (My Page) on

I would like to buy a pink dwarf/bowl lotus. I might also take a regular lotus if it's pink. And maybe a blue tropical lily. Please PM or email me if you have anything like that.
Thanks!

It's probably too late to get lotus shipped like that. Lotus is tough as nails while it is dormate, but once it starts to sprout, the leaf bud and shoots are very delicate. If you break the growth shoot, the plant will die.

Hi, Mattmathis,

Like ccoombs said, it might be hard to find a lotus, unless you look locally and find one that is already potted up for you.

As for the tropical blue lily, you can't beat Blue Beauty for reliability and consistent blooms. I had one for two years (lost it this past winter), and during the summer there was hardly a single day that there wasn't at least one blossom on it.

Dauben is another reliable light blue lily, and is a dwarf that is suitable for tubs.

I've included a link with a variety of blue lilies. The descriptions on this site often let you know when a particular plant is a prolific bloomer.

Here is a link that might be useful: Blue lilies
