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.
