That sounds like a good deal of sunlight, Heather. I think most any
and all lotus would be fine! Actually you could go
to any catalog and look up the lotuses .... there is a bunch to
choose from and each one is wonderful in its own way

Nedra, how do you overwinter lotus? From you webpages I gather you
just leave yours on the bottom. However, I think my USDA zone is 2,
and anything tropical has to be brought inside and put under
growlights or into dormant storage. I've kept a taro going for
several years now, and I'm thinking I'd like to try lotus.
Also, are there any that are good for complete shade? Pond #2 (under
planning) is going to be on the shady side of the sunroom.
