Nelumbo nucifera is an aquatic perennial is in the Nelumbonaceae family. It is also known as Indian lotus, bean of India, Egyptian bean, lotus, and the most famous name the Sacred Lotus. Not to be confused with the genus Nympheae which is also a sacred lotus famous in the Indian culture. It is native to Asia and Australia. The Nelumbo nucifera is called the sacred lotus for its symbolic status the flower holds in relation to Buddhism and Hinduism. The seeds are impenetrable by water giving the seed a shelf life of several hundred years. It grows to 6 feet tall in shallow waters. The seeds fall to the bottom of the silty bottom and can lay in waiting if there is a drought. Once it rains the seeds will crack and start to germinate more plants. The most beautiful water lily in my opinion. Zones 4-11 Germination With nail clippers, snip off the end of the seed's outer coating so water may enter. Drop seeds into a water container filled with water about 6 inches to the top. Keep in a sunny spot until germination which is in 2-7 days. Transplant seeds to deeper water once grown.
