Default Basic Lily question

Lilies love fertilizer. How big is the tuber? 2 to 4 fertilizer tab every 4
to 6 weeks wouldn't be too much for a medium sized plant.

A few months or so ago I bought a hardy lily for my small pond.
Initially I put it in at 4" below, then dropped it to around 12" It has
sprouted an occassional leaf, but seems to be crapping out right now. I
see new leaves coming, so I have deciced to move it back up to the 4"
level. Oh, the koi have been getting into it a bit (rooting through the
gravel) so I thought this might help as well.

So, am I doing anything wrong? still no flower out of this thing

It gets around 6 hours of direct light a day (pond between 2 buildings).

Or should I leave it deep and hope for the best?

Carl
