Torsten Posted March 9, 2002 The american Lotus species will grow fine in Melbourne. They can handle the cold. Can't think of the name. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theobromos Posted March 14, 2002 The tree or the waterlilies? The British ones could also take a lot of cold. Nymphaea alba and Nuphar lutea are both easy and beautiful and psychoactive. Nelumbo nucifera, the sacred lotus of Asia, can take some frost if the pond is covered for winter in the south of England, perhaps it could survive Melbourne.
