Published on March 8, 2017

Time to get your hands dirty and plant some lotus tubers. Larry Nau of Bergen Water Gardens takes you step-by-step in how to plant a lotus tuber and, specifically, a bull lotus.

Lotus tubers grow into magnificent, hardy plants which bloom multiple times throughout the summer. The pots may be grown in another decorative pot on a deck or patio or in a watergarden. ~ Larry Nau
