Default Broken record water lily question

OK....this has been asked many times but since it is a new group and I
can't remember what I had for breakfast I will ask it again.

I have two hardy lily tubers with leaves coming to me.

What is the best way to plant these ?


Well, my personal preference is to tie them to a rock...

Bare-root has always worked very well for me.

I have had no luck with tubers. Also can I put them in the pond even
though the water is still in Canadian spring mode ?


I think it's still a little early in most of Canada. Whatever you do,
you're likely to lose _these_ leaves, but if you're past the likelihood of
ice on your pond they should survive.
