When does the lotus bloom? Lotus pictures

1. Ornamental Lotus

The ornamental lotus is a common plant in our lives. It blooms from June to September, with the main flowering period being midsummer. Lotus flowers that grow in a natural environment usually bloom in early to mid-June. The flowering period of a single flower lasts for 3-4 days, and some of the double flowers last longer, about 10-13 days.

The flowering period of lotus is related to the planting time. If it is planted in late February and warming measures are taken, the lotus can bloom early and will bloom around early May. It can be replanted in mid-June, and this type of lotus usually blooms in mid-September. The flowering period of lotus is also related to the variety. Some varieties are early maturing and bloom relatively early, while some varieties are late blooming and bloom more late. The flowering period is also related to regional differences. Warm regions bloom earlier, while northern regions bloom slightly later.

2. Edible Lotus

There is a difference between edible lotus and ornamental lotus. The flowering time is later than the former. This kind of lotus is generally sown in spring and will bloom in September-October for viewing.
