When does the lotus bloom and what color is it?

1. When does it bloom?

Lotus flowers are divided into ornamental and edible types. The lotus flowers that we usually see belong to the ornamental type. The flowering period of this type of lotus is from June to September in summer. The ornamental value is highest and the flowering period is most prosperous around June to August. During this period, a flower usually blooms every 2-5 days. The overall flowering period of lotus flowers is relatively long, with a single flower lasting about 3-4 days. The flowering time varies according to regional differences. The areas south of the Yangtze River Basin bloom earlier because the temperature rises faster, while the areas north of the Yangtze River Basin bloom later. The flowering period of lotus depends on the variety. Some bloom early, while others are late-maturing varieties. The flowering period can also be delayed by short daylight. Edible lotus is sown in spring and is viewed from September to October, which is somewhat different from ornamental lotus, as it is planted later.

2. What color

Lotus comes in many colors, including white, red, pink, yellow, purple, as well as intermediate colors such as dark blue and gray-green. In addition to the common colors, there are many color variations. The flowers are quite abundant and highly ornamental, and the lotus flowers of different colors represent different flower languages.
