It is famous for its large, heavy blooms that feature a stunning contrast: soft, glowing rose-pink petals that are uniquely tipped with a splash of emerald green. It is an architectural masterpiece, perfect for gardeners who want a tall, structural plant that serves as a high-visibility landmark in the water garden.

Note: Due to its vigorous growth and impressive height, 'Emerald Daybreak' requires a large, deep round pot and performs magnificently as a vertical centerpiece in a patio container .

"Expert Lotus Tips".

Why Nelumbo 'Emerald Daybreak' is a Unique Choice

• The "Emerald Tip" Signature: This variety is highly sought after for its rare green pigmentation on the outer petal tips. This "daybreak" effect makes the pink bloom appear to be emerging directly from the green foliage.

• Heavy Feeding for Tall Stature: Because it works so hard to produce large leaves and heavy, multi-petaled flowers, 'Emerald Daybreak' is a very heavy feeder. To ensure it has the strength to reach its full majestic height, add 3 to 4 grams of fertilizer every 3 weeks throughout the growing season.

• Large Leaf Canopy: The leaves of this variety are particularly impressive and can reach substantial widths. When grown in a patio container , it creates a lush, jungle-like atmosphere that provides a wonderful green backdrop for other pond plants.

• Dramatic Structural Presence: If you have a large open space on a sunny deck, this is the plant to fill it. Its height and large-scale blooms ensure that it remains the focal point of the garden from early summer until the first frost.
