Lotus plant

[Old Central]

Hi all,

Has anyone grown lotus plants? If so, how did you do it and where did you get the plants or seed from?

Thanks

I dont know that its possible to grow lotus plants in the UK.  Dont they need tropical conditions???

Hi Mimi

We have managed water spinach (kangkung in Malay) and water chestnuts successfully. The former is in a green house and the latter in a pond.

The lotus on sale in the local supermarket had a side shoot on it so we might just try that!
