You are going to complain that the dwarf and small varieties of lilies spread way too slowly for providing good habitat especially if the pond is relatively new with compacted firm bottom. This is everyone I've sole them to says - "spread too slowly". Even in older ponds with soft bottom, I doubt you will ever see the dwarf or small varieties of lilies spread too much. One can easily control to eliminate or 'prune' them back them with glysophate herbicides. The small and dwarf (aka miniature) will spread so slow that you will likely want to try the Medium faster spreading varieties. Try it and you will see I am correct. MAKE SURE YOU KNOW THE VARIETY YOU ARE GETTING WHEN PLANTING SMALL, DWARF, AND MEDIUM VARIETIES OF LILIES.
