How deep would you consider deep? Five feet is not too deep for most
non-dwarf hardy lilies.

the lower they are the
more energy to get leaves and flowers to surface. also, blooms at the
warmer surface water, earlier and more. Ingrid


Not in my experience. I start all my lilies shallow, and sink them as the
leaves reach the surface. Once they have a few pads on the surface, they
don't have a problem getting enough energy to push more, and they are able
to spread out. My deep lilies always produce more blooms than my shallow
ones.


How deep is deep?
