I have six hardy lilys in pots. Five of them are on a shelf
surrounding the pond. Whilst removing dead pads yesterday I knocked
one of them into the 3 foot deep well in the middle of the pond.

Will the pads reach back up to the surface or should I fish it out?

My first hardy lily was dropped into about 3 feet of water after it slid
down an incline. It had leaves everywhere. In my experience, planting depths
for lillies always seem to be a bit better when planted slightly deeper then
the recommendations on the tag.
