🪷 Overview

Nelumbo ‘Pink-a-licious’ stands out as one of the most striking pink lotus varieties: its large, bright pink single flowers rise high above the foliage and immediately draw attention. With its impressive growth - reaching 1.2 to 2 m depending on conditions - this lotus is ideal for spacious ponds or ambitious aquaponic systems.

📏 Characteristics & Size

According to the product sheet, the leaves can reach 50–60 cm in diameter, the flowers 15–20 cm or more, and the plant height typically ranges from 120 to 150 cm. It requires a water depth of about 30 cm or more for proper development.

🌿 Cultivation & Care

For best results, grow ‘Pink-a-licious’ in a large pond or a spacious container. Use a heavy, clay-rich soil or an aquatic substrate, and provide full sun so the vivid pink color can fully express itself. It prefers the moderate water depth suited to large lotus cultivars and can also be grown in aquaponics if enough space is available. Remove faded leaves and flowers regularly to encourage new blooms and maintain a clean appearance. Thanks to its vigor and relative ease of cultivation, this variety is an excellent choice to enhance high-quality decorative or aquaponic setups.
