For the DIY potted & divided lilies, survival will be better compared to directly planting bare root lily rhizomes. Be leery of boughten potted lilies because they are likely to have unwanted piggy back plants in the pots. Hardy lilies are usually grown in weedy shallow nursery ponds where piggy back plants and seeds can easily be included in the potted lily. I have always used bare root lily rhizomes from the lily water garden suppliers. Nuisance plants are very easy to get started when transplanting aquatic plants.
