Plant Description

Splendid Sunset Lotus is a remarkable, single-petal lotus in hues of a magnificent sunset! Yellow-gold receptacles complement the yellow petals that are kissed in pink at the petal tips and adorned with a fringe of yellow-gold anthers. Splendid Sunset Lotus is a medium sized lotus that grows 2 - 4 feet tall in wide containers. This is an elegant plant that adds beauty and grace to your water garden. The attractive green foliage adds to the allure of this splendid lotus! This lotus looks very similar to Sunrise Brocade but it has a slightly larger flower and the plant is taller.

Planting Instructions

Plant your lotus in wide, no holes containers (18 - 30 inches wide or wider) using loam soil. Fill your lotus container 2/3 full using loam soil. Dig a shallow trench on the surface of the soil and gently place your lotus tuber in the trench taking care not to damage the growth tips. Cover the tuber with an inch or two of soil while leaving the growth tips exposed. Add four inches of water above the soil. Place your lotus container outdoors where your lotus will receive 8 - 12 hours of sunlight daily. Do not fertilize until you have aerial leaves growing out of the water.

How And When To Fertilize Your Lotus

Once your lotus has aerial leaves you may begin to fertilize your lotus. We recommend Waterlily World Fertilizer Tabs for optimum growth and best bloom! Simply press the fertilizer tabs into the soil near the roots of your lotus taking care not to damage the roots. Do this once each month, June through September, the last dose of fertilizer should be given in early September as this allows your lotus to go into dormancy naturally.

*Please read 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 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  inexpensive 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!

Cooling fabric is Just what I needed
Color: 03-black, Size: 20" X 26" (Pack of 4)
I'm a hot sleeper. These cooling pillow cases are fantastic. It has ended soaked pillow cases. I paired these with waterproof pillow cases for extra pillow protection. I now sleep cooler and wake up dry. I also toss and turn less and wake up less frequently hot, sweaty and uncomfortable and I can sleep though the night. I don't need to flip my pillows over because of sweat. Both sides of these pillow cases have arc chill cooling fabric. They're soft, silky, breathable and comfortable to lay my head on. The colors to choose from is a wide selection. These look great on my king size bed. I love this fabric so much that I upgraded all of my pillows and blanket sheets to cooling fabric. I'm sold on these. The zipper is premium, sturdy and durable. My pillows fit perfectly on these cases. The cooling material is top notch high quality to me with great craftsmanship. I liked these ones so much that I bought more and plan to again. My partner seen and felt these and immediately went online to buy some blankets to go with the pillow cases I gifted. I also bought my son these and a few cooling blankets. These work best with a fan or air conditioner. Highly recommended and you won't regret this purchase if you're a hot sleeper to profusely sweating during sleep.

Color is off, feels decent
Color: 07-beige, Size: 20" X 26" (Pack of 2)
Feels nice and very cooling to the touch. Although you can tell it definitely isn't cotton. I ordered the color beige but it is much more of a cream color.
