Over most parts of the water lilies range, the rhisome of a water lily
can be vulnerable to freezing killing them in a hard Winter.
Additionally, many critters will go to town grazing on easily reached
stems and rhisomes, ducks can easily destroy a water lily in shallow
water.

I got a pink lily at Petschmart for $2.99 last weekend. I planted it
according to instructions. Yesterday, I noticed the whole tubor is gone. So
much for putting in shallow water, near my critter entry point. *sigh*
