VOLTS 
Sacred Lolw 
DMA. 27- 2" 
An intriguing water plant, raised by the ancient 
Egyptians 4000 years ago. Lotus 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.
