I have read thru many of the posts here regarding Lilly Pads ( water lilies ) and wondering, without using all the scientific names, what type would be a good variety to use in michigan and where do I get them. I have an area that is about 20' wide and 80'long with an average depth of 2ft that I want to plant a lily type plant to help control water plantain and add a little vairety to the pond. Flowering Color is not really an issue. 20' out from shore the water quickly drops off to 11 ft, and the pond is 1/2 acre in size.
