Can't help with the old(dead) lillies or potting.

But Last 2 years I've gotten some "hardy" lillies at walmart in early
spring. About $5. They all did really well, bloomed even in the first year.
they came bare root in a soil filled bag. A local nusery sold some for about
the same price. I too noticed lowes price last year. I can a lot of potting
for the $10-$15 dollar higher price of the bare root bargins.

1) My lily leaves became smaller and smaller during the last summer. Now,
I
am not sure if it's dead. Rhizome has many roots but no leaf this year so
far. The Rhizome is dark brown color. How could I tell if it's dead?

2) What's the ideal pot size for hardy lily? Is 12 inches ok? I read some
previous posting mentioned about 18 inches pot (7 inches deep).

3) Any suggestion where to buy hardy water lily? Good price with
reasonable
quality. Online? Any suggested stores?

I live in Santa Rose (Northern California).

Thanks.
