Default Re: Lotus?

The American Lotus(Nelumbo lutea) that grows locally is in the most Stagnant, nasty water you'd rather NOT wade through. My ASian Lotuses grow in those 20 gallon rope buckets, filled to a third with a 1:1:1 mix of Sand, peatmoss and composted Cow Manure...placed in Full Sun. Right now, with the weather warming but no Frogs making tadpoles the water is as nasty as any wild Lotus patch...
