Default waterlilies and their pots

I don't use any soil in my lillys and they do fine. I use those baskets
with just river rock in them.

=============================
I tried that several years ago and my lilies didn't do well in the gravel at
all. They were small, the leaves were small and pale and there were few
flowers. Several didn't survive the winter. However, my water iris and
most other plants will do fairly well in a fine gravel (not sand). I think
I'm going to eliminate the pond pots and use the regular solid side pots
from now on.
