Product at a Glance
A compact seed option for gardeners who enjoy starting aquatic plants from the earliest stage.
Two Pack Sizes
Choose either 20 or 100 seeds from the available variation.
Water Germination
Begin in clean, warm water after carefully preparing the hard shell.
Warm & Bright
Suitable warmth and good light support early seedling development.
Aquatic Planting
Move established seedlings into a suitable container or water garden.
How to Start Your Seeds
Lotus seeds have a hard outer shell. Careful preparation is the key first step before soaking.
Prepare the shell carefully
Lightly file or nick the hard shell at the indented end until the lighter inner layer is just visible. Do not remove the whole shell and do not cut into the embryo.
Soak
Place the prepared seeds in a clean container of water at approximately 20–30°C. Keep the container in a warm indoor position.
Refresh the Water
Replace the water once or twice each day to keep it fresh. Provide good light after shoots begin to appear and do not let seedlings dry out.
Allow to Develop
Under suitable conditions, initial sprouting may appear in around a week. Continue growing until roots and young leaves are established.
Transplant
Move each established seedling carefully into its own suitable aquatic container with prepared soil and still water. Keep young leaves above the water surface.

Important Growing Notes
- Seeds are living material. Germination time and success depend on seed preparation, water temperature, water quality, light and ongoing care; germination and flowering cannot be guaranteed.
- Mature-plant photographs illustrate possible growing results. Final flower colour, size and appearance may vary, and a mixed pack may not produce every shade shown.
- In cooler UK conditions, start seeds indoors where a stable warm temperature and sufficient light can be maintained.
- Avoid strong fertiliser while seedlings are newly established. Introduce suitable aquatic-plant feed only after the plants have settled.
- Seeds are supplied for planting only and are not intended for consumption. Keep away from small children and pets.
