Lotus flower seeds are relatively large compared to many other flower seeds, typically measuring about 1/2 to 1 inch (1.3 to 2.5 cm) in diameter. They have a hard, glossy, and somewhat rounded or oval shape. The seeds are usually brown to dark brown and often have a rough, dimpled surface with a noticeable sheen. They are encased in a tough, woody shell that is designed to protect the seed until it encounters suitable conditions for germination. Lotus seeds can be stored for long periods and may require scarification or soaking to break dormancy before planting. They prefer warm, shallow water or well-drained soil for optimal growth.
