In my wg's my Mrs. Perry Slocum lotus gets maybe 3 ft tall maybe a little more, thats it ( maybe in warmer zones they do get bigger or under certain conditions???...the leaves may be taller but tend to go out sideways as they get bigger from the weight and are up to 2+ feet across.. I have not fertilized mine in years or seperated them .. MPS is for a larger pond unless you really want to fill it up ...and yes you do need at least 4-5 hrs of sun. It changes from whitish pink to pinkish res and back if I remember right ...if I had to choose just one lotus MPS would be it ...it is phenominal!!! Amonst my wife's 20,000+ photos on this computer I can't find any wide views this is the best I have ...next summer I will take some photos of the whole enchilada...David
