Why not artificial habitat instead of the plants?

Whatever you do don't let them go to a local lake and grab lillies from it. Spatterdock and white water lily are what's up here and it spreads fast. While it might look nice for a year or two, it'll soon get out of hand and it will be a problem to control. Go with the Hardy Lilies like what was suggested.
