Abstract: Nelumbo‘Qiuri Honghua’,a new cultivar of Asian lotus(Nelumbo nucifera),was bred from‘Yunteng Xiawei’(hardy lotus)בTaiguohong 1’(tropical lotus)by artificial hybridization. Under field planting conditions,‘Qiuri Honghua’is a large plant with red and single flower. The height of erect leaves is more than 200 cm high. Leaf area is 55–65 cm × 50–60 cm. Flower density is 20–30 per square meter,which is higher than that of leaf. The number of flower petals is 22–24 and its flower diameter could reach 16–22 cm. The green-ripening receptacle is bowl shaped. The rhizomatous stem expands slightly to form a lotus whip. The new cultivar blooms from June to October in the Yangtze River region of China.
