Most are shipped starting in march. To cold here so they go in the greenhouse tank until the water warms up outside. Star looking now. I have some on the way from Alabama.

Got those  tubers from Alabama, Hummmmmmm they don't look like Lotus to me. I emailed the lady and asked if she was sure thy were Lotus.OMG I thought she was gonna have a fit, lol . I know . Lily tuber when I see one. She was so Sorry I almost :'( cryed for her. I told her it was not a problem for me but might be for others who were expecting Lotus. So I ordered some from Springtime Nursery good price to so now I know I will get LOTUS and not Lily. I hope! Lesson learned for me I will be sure and ask next time if the tuber looks anything like a BANANA!!

Did I hear that there is Lotus that is hardy and can stay down in the deep part of the pond during winters or am I just dreaming? I'm in Western Wa. where it gets down in the teens sometimes. If it's true do these hardy Lotus look pretty good and are they fragrant? If so can you suggest certain ones? Thanks.

Frank, I'm interested in the smallest ones. My greenhouse is very small. We have to keep them in a greenhouse here to get them to bloom, because we have such gloomy skies.
