Oh Boy .. Is my face ever red. Thanks for the correction.
I knew something didn't seem right in the first LATIN word
but typically I plowed on ;-)

A tropical waterlily does have to be taken inside or replaced
each year here in zone 6.

Is your lotus a hardy one? If so, it should winter over in Zone 4.
The only thing you have to worry about is Not to let the tuber
freeze.

Actually Nymphaea lotus is a waterlily, not a lotus, that's just its
name. It is a tropical night-bloomer. It is used as an aquarium
plant as well as a pond plant.
