Lotus varieties have big impressive flowers. My experience with the small varieties is they will grow into 7 ft and maybe 8ft deep. Larger varieties will spread faster and grow deeper. Water clarity could affect the depth they grow. Hard packed clay bottom will slow their spread. In good conditions they can spread fast. Be prepared with approved herbicides with they get to areas where you do not want them.
