I ordered two lotus tubers from two different companies.
Wabasabi is considered a very large lotus -- I bought a rigid plastic pond liner to put that one in. It's about 3 feet across and is separate from my main pond.
First Lady was listed as a medium to large lotus. I got a big tub for that one and planned to put in the pond.
The Wab-a-sabi came and it's a smaller tuber than I expected -- about 8 inches long and about as thick as a thumb. I planted it in the big separate pool.
THEN First Lady came. THAT tuber is very large. It was breaking dormancy, so I planted it right away.
The question is: should I switch locations? Is the tuber size indicative of the plant size? Would it be unwise to move them once they've come out of dormancy?
