It gets sun from sunrise to sunset...it's in the middle of my driveway...see the gravel?
No trees, nothing to shade it.
It was planted in April, in my own compost mix with at least 1/2 cup of Osmocote in the bottom.

Just this past week we have warmed up...a bit. and have had more than 2 days in a row of sun.
Lotus don't make buds unless they're getting enough sun.
