Without a doubt, lotus (Nelumbo sp.) are the most stunning plant in the pond and water garden. Some varieties produce leaves up to 24" in diameter and grow over 4' tall. Their blooms may open up to 12" across and are very fragrant. They are winter hardy as long as they are submerged below the ice.

We have many varieties of Lotus plants available at our location for sale by June 1st. But because they are fragile, we do not ship them.
Kohaku are white koi with red markings and are the most popular variety in Japan and much of the world. Ideally the red markings should be deep in colour and uniform shade with the edges of the pattern well defined. The base white should be a clean 'snow' white.

Performing regular, parial water changes is a great way to maintain optimal water quality. Changing 10%-15% of the pond water every week or 2, helps to flush out nitrates, tannins and other waste products while replenishing essential minerals.
