Bill - I consider the pinks very fast spreaders, but I have muskrats and beaver (3 beaver just trapped out in the last 3 days in the pond in the photo ) that trim back the beds pretty effectively. My dam on this pond is massive, so I am not very worried about a breach. I have white, red, yellow and bicolor varieties that are far less aggressive and I have moved these to other bodies of water where they do not have to compete with the aggressive pinks that crowd them out. We also have 2 ponds adjacent to one another that are only 3-4' deep and get so many immigrating muskrats from a nearby stream that the pink water lilies have never spread or even grown very well at all (barely survive) even though the muskrats are mostly trapped out every winter. I have never felt the need to plant the native whites, but maybe these shallow duck ponds would be a good place to try them. Any suggested supplier?
