Product Overview
Nelumbo 'Beautiful Dancer' - Hardy Water Lotus
Beautiful Dancer opens a beautiful clear pink, aging to pink and yellow, then to a creamy white. The many single blooms are 3 to 4 inches in diameter and leaves are 6 to 10 inches. It is a good choice for containers or small ponds. It performs best when planted in a no-hole container at least 2 gallons or bigger. When restricted in pot size, Beautiful Dancer is a true bowl lotus, great for containers with or without a pond.

Lotus are sold as bare root tubers, or sometimes later in the Spring as runners with small leaves. The growing points are fragile, and must be handled very carefully.
