Hardy waterlilies cope fine with drought as long as there's a bit of moisture round their roots and rhisome. The crowns will wither down to tiny little buds, that will spring back to life when there is water over them again

There's enough moisture from dew in the morning and the mud they tunnel in to keep them going through a Summer dormancy. Hardy waterlilies are tough...
