1. Is Lotus berthelotii a perennial or annual?
It’s a tender perennial in warm climates (zones 10–11) and can be grown as an annual in cooler areas. It also does very well in containers, which can be brought indoors during cold seasons.

2. How do I plant the seeds?
Start seeds indoors in spring. Lightly cover with soil, keep moist, and provide warmth (around 20–24°C or 68–75°F). Germination can take 2–4 weeks.

3. Does it need full sun to bloom?
Yes. Lotus berthelotii thrives in full sun and needs plenty of light to produce its vibrant, beak-shaped flowers. Avoid overly shady spots, which can reduce blooming.
