Description

The ‘Lady Bug’ bowl lotus is an exquisite miniature lotus variety that combines vibrant color, hardiness, and ease of growth, making it a perfect choice for both beginner and experienced water gardeners. Known for its striking bright red flowers, this bowl lotus brings a bold splash of color to any pond, container water garden, or decorative tub. Its continuous blooming throughout the summer ensures that your water garden remains lively and visually captivating from early summer into late season.

Unlike larger lotus varieties, the ‘Lady Bug’ maintains a small and manageable size, even when planted in larger containers, as long as the pot is shallow rather than deep. Its compact stature, growing just 6”–12” tall, makes it ideal for smaller ponds, tabletop water gardens, or even decorative bowls, allowing you to enjoy the beauty of a lotus without requiring extensive space. The flowers themselves are delicate yet vivid, typically featuring single or few petals with fewer than 20 petals per bloom, offering a simple and elegant look that enhances any aquatic display.

This variety is not only visually appealing but also remarkably resilient. Like larger lotus species, the ‘Lady Bug’ bowl lotus thrives in full sunlight and nutrient-rich soil, and it is tolerant of varying water conditions, making cultivation straightforward and rewarding. Its miniature size allows for creative placement, giving you the freedom to design a personalized aquatic scene with rocks, small decorative elements, or companion plants.

The ‘Lady Bug’ bowl lotus grows well in pots 6” and wider, with a depth of 4”–10”, making it suitable for a wide range of container setups. Whether you are looking to add a splash of bright red color to your patio, balcony, or indoor water garden, this miniature lotus provides an elegant, hardy, and easy-to-grow solution. Its vibrant blooms, compact stature, and continuous flowering make the ‘Lady Bug’ a must-have addition to any aquatic plant collection, providing color, charm, and tranquility 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.
