SACRED LOTUS 
An intriguing water plant, raised by the ancient Egyptians 4000 years 
ago. They were grown in sacred ponds and dedicated to the deities. 
You'll want to include lotus in your water garden too, because it is 
such a graceful plant. The poly-petaled flower resembles 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.
