Nelumbo 'Red Skirt' is a show-stopping variety named for its uniquely flared and ruffled petals that mimic the movement of a spinning dancer's skirt. Unlike the "Micro" lotuses that stay tiny or the "Giants" that tower overhead, 'Red Skirt' is a perfectly balanced Medium variety. It fills out its space with a lush, bushy habit, producing multiple layers of vibrant cherry-red petals that soften to a deep rose-pink as they open. It is a robust grower that provides a heavy splash of color without needing the massive footprint of a giant variety.

Note: Because of its mid-sized growth habit, 'Red Skirt' is highly adaptable and looks magnificent when grown in a patio container that is approximately 14 to 18 inches wide.

"Expert Lotus Tips".

Why Nelumbo 'Red Skirt' is a Unique Choice

• The "Flared" Silhouette: The outer petals of this variety are noticeably wider and more ruffled than the inner layers, giving the flower a distinctive "skirt" shape that catches the breeze beautifully.

• Heavy Feeding for Vibrant Pigment: To maintain that intense cherry-red color and support the energy needed for its high petal count, 'Red Skirt' is a heavy feeder. For the most prolific flowering, add 3 to 4 grams of fertilizer every 3 weeks throughout the peak summer months.

• A Reliable "Mid-Sized" Performer: If you find the "Giant" varieties too heavy to move and the "Miniatures" too small for your garden, 'Red Skirt' is the ideal compromise. It is easy for you to manage in a patio container while still offering a substantial floral display.

• Prolific Bloomer: 'Red Skirt' is known for its ability to produce multiple flowers at once. When placed in a sunny spot and fed regularly, it can provide a continuous "dance" of red blooms from mid-summer until the weather cools.
