Plant Description

Prosperous Purple Lotus is a majestic and exceptional lotus with rich, dark-pink flowers that simply POP! This is a tall, multi-petaled lotus that is classified as a 'Red' lotus, but as you can clearly see, this lotus is saturated with intense, deep-pink color! Prosperous Purple Lotus grows to four feet tall or taller and needs a very wide container to reach its full potential. Outer petals are wide and flat while the inner petals are curly and add texture and dimension to this sensational lotus flower! The dark-pink color is intense and vibrant! Golden receptacles and a fringe of white anthers give first day blooms extra dazzle! Prosperous Purple Lotus needs a 20 inch wide container, or wider. Just a note - this one starts slow. It will grow much faster when the weather gets HOT!

Planting Instructions

Plant your lotus in a wide container using loam soil. Add four inches of water above the soil. Place your lotus outdoors where it will receive 8 - 12 hours of sunlight daily. Do not fertilize until you have aerial leaves growing out of the water.

We recommend Waterlily World Fertilizer Tabs for optimum growth and best bloom.

Please see our 'Complete Lotus Growing Guide' included with your lotus purchase!

What Is Loam Soil?

Loam soil is a good mixture of Topsoil and Sand

If you are lucky enough to have good topsoil in your backyard, by all means, use your topsoil. All you will have to do is add fertilizer. If you are not so lucky--and your backyard is sand or heavy red or yellow clay, you can mix up a batch of loam soil.

 You can create your own loam soil by mixing these two ingredients together

  • 2/3  Inorganic Topsoil (Little or no organic material added)
  • 1/3  Pool Filter Sand

 Mix together thoroughly with a little water. Your soil should clump when squeezed. If your soil is mixed properly, it will not muddy your pond water.

You can purchase inexpensive bags of inexpensive / poor Topsoil at Lowes or Home-Depot. Good soil clumps together as a ball in your hand with only a little moisture. 

Don't buy brands like Scott's or Miracle-Gro, as they will contain too much organic matter that can foul your water. Buy an unbranded bag of topsoil instead.

You can purchase Pool Filter Sand at any store that sells pool supplies.

Loam soil is well suited for all aquatic plants (except oxygenators). Oxygenators rarely need to be planted, just anchored in the substrate or in a container filled with sand or 1/8  inch pea gravel.

Sand holds little water but does allow for aeration and drainage.

Some DO's and DON'TS regarding Aquatic Planting Soil  

DO NOT use potting soils ( as they are too light and will float right out of the pot). Potting Soil has organic material that will rot and foul your water!

DO NOT add too much composted material (as it is too rich in organic matter and it will ferment underwater and destroy the ecology of your pond).

DO NOT use 100% calcined clay as there is no nutritional value in calcined clay.

DO NOT add rocks, stones or pebbles to the top of your planting container as this will inhibit the growth of your plants. Plants do not grow in rocks and stones in nature!

DO NOT purchase API Aquatic Planting Media or Microbe-lift Aquatic Planting Media as these products are NOT suitable for waterlilies, lotus or most other pond plants. They are suitable for submerged grasses ONLY!

Bog Plants (Wetland Plants) prefer poor, acidic soil.

The texture of loam soil will retain nutrients and water as well as bind to the nutrients in your fertilizer, where they can deliver these nutrients to your plants. The Pool Filter Sand will allow some drainage and aeration Once you have created loam soil for your pond plants, you are ready to plant waterlilies, lotus and marginal plants in your water garden or pond. Enjoy!

Perfect engagement gift or for any woman
Format: Mass Market Paperback
This book is in my top five for women. A quick read, but so profound. This edition has very small print, my one caveat is for it to be printed in a hardback with a larger font so women over 40 can enjoy it without reading glasses. Still, absolutely amazing and such a timely word for today's confused culture.

Beautiful, well-written advent companion book!
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
I have been wanting to purchase this book as a companion to our yearly advent time, and am so glad I took the plunge this year. The beautiful stories, illustrations, delicious recipes and fun activities will be such a delightful enhancement to our readings this year, and I am hoping we can start a bit early so we have time to really savor the beauty of advent in what always turns out to be a busy season. Truly a gorgeous book that was put together with great thoughtfulness, love, and a heart for the true focus of Christmas.

a beautiful Advent book
Format: Hardcover
This book has truly been my companion during the advent season. It has resided next to my couch, in my kitchen, by my bed, and at my crafting table. It is beautifully written and filled with ideas that will inspire rather than overwhelm, and a memoir that will bring you to tears. Lovely

Fantastic and memorable Advent companion book & cookbook
Format: Hardcover
I love this book so much! (I've now bought 3 more copies for friends and family. It's that good!) It has bite-sized little readings for each of the four weeks of Advent, then it has a bunch more content for Christmastide. It has beautiful, hand-drawn recipe pictures and quote illustrations throughout along with many excellent recipes, Advent reading lists, music recommendations, and craft ideas. I'm not a crafty person, but it did help me with ideas for decorating my Advent wreath. Additionally, I've made multiple recipes from it, and we loved them all! The baked eggs and sweet/spicy bacon and gingersnaps are fantastic. I have more recipes planned in the weeks to come. The ideas of a Christmas simmer pot for using up older fruit and cinnamon sticks is great! What I love most is the festive yet accessible and contemplative, friendly nature of the author's writings. This is a lovely gift for yourself or for others. You won't want to do ALL of the ideas in any one year, but you'll return to it year after year for new ideas and for the ones you loved from last year!

A book to savor

I just loved this book. First off, the artwork was amazing and made you feel enveloped in the wonder of the season from the first moment you open the book! The content also pulls you in - from the heartfelt stories, to the recipes and crafts, to the faith-filled reflections, this book helped me feel as though I was both savoring the season and preparing for Christmas. What a perfect gift for yourself or a friend to awaken your wonder for the season and your love for the coming Savior.
