Oops. Lily goes plunk
 

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.

leaves will come up, but will reduce vigor of the plant. Ingrid

All my hardy lilies are 3 feet down and they do very well.

Do they flower well at that depth ? What species ? Kinda hard to
fertilize at 3' ?
