  How to Grow Hardy Water Lilies  
  Water lilies need sun -- typically 6 hours or more -- in order to bloom well. Don't have much sun? Try Chromatella or Texas Dawn, which bloom with only 3-4 hours of sun, or Mary, which does well in cool water and filtered light.

Hardy lilies typically like 12-24 inches of water over the crown, although some tolerate deeper water. Situate your lily in still water away from any splashing or strong current; splashing water will cause disease.

Water lilies should be planted in large shallow pots using ordinary black dirt. Add 2-3 pond plant fertilizer tablets in a gallon size pot. Divide the lily every year in the early spring, discarding small crowns and repotting the strongest crown.

Lilies will overwinter in your pond as long as the crown does not freeze. They may also be wintered in a cool place (40-45 degrees) indoors if wrapped in a plastic bag or kept in a bucket of water.
