Nelumbo Nucifera – Sacred Lotus Seeds

Nelumbo nucifera, commonly known as the Sacred Lotus or simply the Lotus, is a beautiful aquatic plant native to Asia and one of the most revered flowers worldwide. Known for its stunning, large blossoms and cultural significance, the Sacred Lotus symbolizes purity, enlightenment, and rebirth. It thrives in water gardens and ponds, adding elegance and tranquility to any water feature.

Growth and Characteristics

  • Height: Can grow up to 3-6 feet (1-2 meters) tall, with floating leaves that span up to 3 feet in diameter.
  • Flowers: Large, fragrant, and vibrant flowers that bloom in shades of pink, white, or occasionally yellow, often reaching up to 6 inches in diameter.
  • Leaves: Round, green leaves that float on the water’s surface, providing an elegant contrast to the blossoms.
  • Seeds: The seeds of the Sacred Lotus are highly durable, known to remain viable for many years, and can be harvested for future planting.

Cultivation and Care

  • Climate: Best suited for warm, tropical to subtropical climates. Ideal for USDA hardiness zones 4-10.
  • Water: Thrives in calm, shallow water with temperatures between 70°F-85°F (21°C-29°C) for optimal growth.
  • Soil: Prefers slightly acidic, loamy soil with good drainage for planting in submerged containers or aquatic beds.
  • Light: Full sun is essential for vibrant blooms, though partial shade can be tolerated.
  • Planting: Soak the seeds in warm water for 2-3 days before planting to aid germination. Submerge the seeds in water once sprouted, allowing them to grow into a beautiful lotus plant.

Symbolism and Benefits

The Sacred Lotus holds deep spiritual meaning, symbolizing purity, enlightenment, and rebirth in many cultures, particularly in Eastern traditions. It is often associated with meditation and is known for its ability to clean and oxygenate water in ponds and other aquatic environments.

Germination First, scarify the seeds until there is a small amount of white color showing and place the seeds in water. The American Lotus seeds should swell over the next few days and sprout within a week, growing quickly for the next couple of weeks. There are enough nutrients in the Nelumbo lutea seeds to support the plant for 30 days, but it should be planted as soon as practical. Plant in a pot with plenty of room for root growth below and around the seeds, at least 4 inches and place in water with the top of the pot between 12 and 18 inches below the surface of the water. Leaves will appear within a month and the plant should bloom in the second growing season.
Scarification / Stratification Seed coats may be so hard that they are impermeable to water. They need to be scratched or broken using a knife or sandpaper, in order to germinate. Chip the seeds with a sharp knife or make a few swipes with a sharp edged file or use sandpaper to allow moisture being more readily absorbed.
