Mekos - If you go back to the post from me dated April 5th of this year, you will see a link to growing lotus from seed. If you go to the article section of Dave's and put in Lotus seeds in the search articles box, it will pull up an article by Susanne Talbert about growing lotus from seed.

The lotus I've started from seed seem to germinate within a week. I should mention, however, that some don't germinate. Why they don't I don't know. It also takes me two years to get a bloom from a seedling in my climate zone.

Your first leaves float on top of the water. Later you have leaves that rise up out of the water.
