Hello,

this past winter was my first in keeping lilies over the winter.

All I did in the fall was snip the leaves and left the rhizome at the
bottom of the pond where it did not freeze.

Do I just wait and let nature take its course ?

Yup, and if it looks like there is not enough pot for it to continue
growing another season, you can repot it after you know where the growing
tip is. ~ jan

=============================
Yes. As the water warms it will start to grow. All mine, here in zone 6, are
starting to push up small new leaves. This is a good time to divide and
transplant them.

You can, but if it's possible for you, they'll develop faster if you can let
them start close to the surface, and slowly lower them as they develop.
