Remarks:
A showstopper in the wetland garden. Forget the flowers. The large lotus leaves atop 4' stalks defy gravity nodding in the sun to part-shade. Requires wet feet to thrive. Seed ripens in late May, and can be sown immediatly. Seeds are very fine, and must be sown on the surface of wet peat, never being allowed to dry out. Will germinate in 3 weeks.
