Standard eel grass grows well in lower light conditions. It normally grows to 3 ft tall but I've seen in taller closer to 4-5ft and in optimum conditions 6-7ft tall. The flowers on sprial stems will always reach the surface no matter what depth the plants are growing. It will grow to depths where ever there is enough light for it. As the population covers more and more of the pod bottom expect the water to get gradually clearer as is spreads out and gets deeper.
