I called Bergen today, your right, everything ships in the spring. He said all the tropical lilies get big. The small ones are hardy, he mentioned three. Baby Red, Joan Pring[?] a pink and Heluvla[?] a real tiny one with 50 cent sized leaves. He said to call in April as they may have these but not on their website. He also said both trops and hardy go dormant in winter which i kind of disagree with. I had a previous indoor pond in front of a large west window and had a lily that dropped some leaves but kept some through the winter. Didn't look great but pretty good. I think it was Director Moore. He said either micro or bowl sized lotus would work in my pond but to order soon as they sell out early. I hate to wait but it is what it is. One thing i forget to ask [ok a few things] was will the plants bloom the same season you get them?
