SACRED LOTUS 
An intriguing water plant, raised by the ancient Egyptians 
4000 years ago. They were grown in sacred ponds and dedi- 
cated to the deities. 
You'll want to include lotus in your water garden too, be- 
cause it is such a graceful plant. The poly-petaled flower re- 
sembles a huge rose. The large shield-like leaves surrounding 
the stem are nearly two feet in diameter. You can achieve 
exotic, dramatic effects in large pools by planting lotus as a 
center piece or corner adjunct. 
Lotus may be grown in tub gardens if planted one root to a 
tub and covered with water. Because it spreads so quickly, 
lotus should always be planted in a container, even in a large 
pool. All varieties are hardy.
