Flor de Loto (Nelumbo) Love Bird

Nelumbo 'Love Bird' is a petite powerhouse, specifically bred for those who have very little space but want a bold, dramatic color. Unlike the "Tower" varieties that can overwhelm a small area, 'Love Bird' stays compact and low to the water. It produces surprisingly large, deep crimson flowers for such a small plant, making it a "jewel" for a small garden. This is not a lotus for a large lake; it is a specialist variety designed to be seen up close where its rich, dark red petals can be fully admired.

Note: Because of its tiny footprint, 'Love Bird' is the ultimate choice for growing in a patio container on a bistro table or a sunny windowsill.

Why Nelumbo 'Love Bird' is a Unique Choice

• The "Tabletop" Lotus:This variety is famous for being a "Bowl Lotus."It is best suited for a container as small as 10–12 inches wide,making it much easier for you to manage and move around if needed.

• Heavy Feeding for Intense Red:Even though it is small,'Love Bird' uses a lot of energy to produce that deep red pigment.To keep the color from fading,add 2  to 3 grams of fertilizer every 3 weeks throughout the blooming season.

• Bold Color in a Small Package:While many miniature lotuses are pale pink or white,'Love Bird' offers a rare,saturated red that really "pops" against its small,round green leaves.

• Perfect for Eye-Level Display:Because it doesn't grow tall,It is best grown in a patio container placed on a pedestal or table.This allows you to enjoy the fragrance and the intricate double-petals without having to bend over.
