Last year I added a few native white water lillies to my 16 acre lake in Southwestern Ontario and suck them in the sand and gravel mix soil. This year it looks like it really didn't work? Any suggestions besides adding them in pots etc. I would like them growing near two islands that would provide some wind protection across the lake. I took care in transplanting them properly and allowing some of the tuber to be exposed above the soil in the water in 3' or less of water. I recently added some largemouth bass to the forage base and will need some cover for them as well as some beauty. I also added some red attraction hybrids in pots and they are doing great so the clear water doesn't seem to be the problem. Any help or tips would be greatly appreciated as I try this experiment again in the next few weeks.

Thanks
