Nelumbo nucifera 'Crimson Goblet', medium lotus, shipped as a dormant lotus tuber.

Crimson Goblet is a medium-height lotus with rich crimson-pink petals around a bright golden center. The petals are broad and gently cupped, which gives the flower its goblet shape.

It adjusts to the size of its pot. In a larger container it reaches medium height, and in a smaller one it stays more compact, so it works on a patio as well as in a pond.

As a medium lotus, this one settles at 6 to 18 inches of water over the crown once established. Start a new tuber under 2 to 4 inches and raise the level as it pushes aerial leaves, with the growing tip left uncovered. Pot size, soil and the rest of the method are in the lotus planting instructions.
