A classic golden yellow showstopper that delights the senses with its vibrant color and elegant, structural form.

Note: To thrive, this Lotus requires a round, non-draining pot and adapts beautifully to both open pond environments and controlled growing in a patio container .

Why Nelumbo 'Golden Zhen' is a Unique Choice
