Could be Nelumbo lutea, the native. I just ran down seeds for a woman
in Turkey. If so, I'll go look again, but no promises until fall.

One of our MG gardens has asked me to get Lotus nelumbo for their
their barrels. Didn't give a common name. Would I be correct in
thinking they want Nelumbo nucifera, Sacred Lotus? I can't ask
them, they don't know. Also - they plan to put these in half whiskey
barrels which in the past they planted with Impatiens. They plan to
plant one Agastache 'Tutti Fruiti', 3 Helichrysum 'Limelight', and 3
of these lotus in each barrel. I'm not really grasping the concept.
The lotus is a water plant, the other two like dryish soil. I asked
her if she was inserting something in the barrel to hol the water
plant, but she dodged the question. I mentioned this to the Hort Ed
and he says one lotus will be plenty, they get huge.
Any thoughts on all of this?
