A lotus is easy to grow once it has matured. It can sometimes be more like a weed if no controlled in some way and in some cases completely taking over natural ponds. A lotus like full sun warm waters in summer and to not freeze solid. Here in KY we rarely have our water freeze more than 6 inches so if the lotus is under this it will be fine now if they are in pots it can freeze solid. The following pics are from the St louis botanical garden were they have a huge patch growing on the side of their oriental pond.
