Slow grower, but sometimes that's good. If you're worn out from hauling all your other lilies out of the pond every couple months, dividing them, putting a few back in and finding homes for the rest so they'll quit choking out everything else in the pond, you'll appreciate this lily that "stays put" at a manageable 3' or so spread.

Nice, pale yellow color blooms, too.
