You can easily control hardy hybrid water lilies with glysophate based herbicides. If you choose the slow spreaders you will likely never have to implement control methods. Buying the correct size and spread of dwarf, small, medium or large is the key component to the best water lily management.

for reference the Colorado Lily is a medium-large spread lily. If it is spreading slowly for Firelshot, that is an indication of how the smaller varieties will perform. RC try some and report back for others that are interested in how the hybrid lilies grow.
