This what I use when I plant lilies in tubs. concrete mixing tub They're cheap, and easy to slide around if fluctuating water level is an issue.

I have some small leafed (2-4") lilies I planted which are spreading much, much easier than I had anticipated. Seems they have spread from broken off leaf/stem (dog runs through the shoreline frog hunting). I spotted a pad or two and a few weeks later its firmly rooted over 100' away from the main plant. The nursery lily with larger pads which might be 10" is growing extremely fast has not spread to any other spots.
