Yes, Florida sun does help.

You & I pretty much follow the same planting styles and care, so that long
growing season definitely makes a big difference.

Now if I just had some room for Lotus....
Can I grow a nice lotus in a 20 gallon barrel garden? If so Would it
need a pump or just plant it?

Well, as Nedra mentioned, heat & sun. Whenever I've tried one separate from
the pond, they got too over heated. I use a plastic round dish pan/oat pan
(for feeding horses their oats) about 20" diameter for the Momo Botan I
have. ~ jan
