Dividing and repotting water lilies!
I planted some new lilies, a few years back, in the fall. All they had were some tiny leaf sprouts. They did great the next spring.I'm wondering if it can survive like this under water, with nothing at the top, until next Spring?
Thanks for giving me hope!Mine escape every year, they grow toooooo darn well. When I put them to bed for the winter I do a lot of excess tuber yanking. Not repotting just cut off the escapees.

What is a pot grabber?I started wear dish washing type gloves, got tired of my hands being black after working on them. I drag the lilies out of the pond to work on them, when it is cold, use my pot grabber. It goes out around 18 feet.
Yup. Start them @ 2', then lower them as they grow. Many won't do well below 4', but there ARE exceptions.Thanks for giving me hope!
They are now 4 1/2' deep, a foot and a half deeper, than they used to be, you think it's too deep?
