Description

Lady Bug Bowl Lotus – Miniature Beauty for Your Water Garden

The ‘Lady Bug’ bowl lotus is a vibrant, compact lotus that combines bright color, hardiness, and easy growth. Its striking red flowers add bold color to ponds, container water gardens, or decorative bowls. In addition, its continuous summer blooms keep your aquatic space lively from early summer through late season.

Compact Size for Small Spaces

Unlike larger lotus varieties, the ‘Lady Bug’ remains small and manageable, even in larger containers if the pot is shallow. Growing just 6”–12” tall, it is ideal for small ponds, tabletop water gardens, or decorative bowls. Additionally, the blooms are delicate yet vivid, featuring fewer than 20 petals per flower. This simple elegance enhances any aquatic display while staying easy to maintain.

Easy to Grow and Resilient

This miniature lotus is not only beautiful but also hardy. It thrives in full sunlight and nutrient-rich soil, and it tolerates varying water conditions. Therefore, cultivating the ‘Lady Bug’ is straightforward and rewarding. Its compact size allows creative placement, letting you design a personalized aquatic scene with rocks, companion plants, or decorative elements.

Ideal for Containers and Patios

The ‘Lady Bug’ grows well in pots 6” and wider, with 4”–10” depth. As a result, it suits many container setups. Whether on a patio, balcony, or indoor water garden, this lotus provides elegance, color, and charm. Furthermore, its continuous flowering and bright red blooms make it a captivating focal point, adding tranquility and beauty all summer long.

The table below shows the estimated shipping and pick-up weeks for destinations to USA states. These dates can change depending on weather and how strong the plants are at that time.

For example, a wet spring will have many clouds leading to less sunshine. Thus, the plants may need a bit longer to grow strong enough for transplanting and transit. With the planet heating up, a warm spring may help the plants grow strong enough to ship before the dates in this table.
