I am reading that they are very invasive. I was planning into having some isolated shallow area for them.

Any advices?



Get some hybrid water lily's. They come in red, yellow, and orange. We have all three colours. I learned from folks on this site that you should plant them in rubber made totes with their own dirt. They will not expand passed the tote but will grow into a very nice mass.

The pictures added are only three bins with three different colours in them. The one picture shows them just by the log on the shore. This was their growth the second year.

Cheers Don.

EDIT: we have learned that muskrat love lily pads. They were set back last year because of 11 rats that made our pond their home for a few weeks.
