Paul, Last year I started the seeds. There were many lily pads on them when it was time to put them down into the pond. I turned the plastic box(I had them in) over and saw a huge tuber on the bottom!! I then put it in pond clay and sunk them down, this spring I brought up the plastic box and tried to get the tuber out to re-plant it and put in some pond tabs, BUT, I was too clumsy and broke off the tips and it died :( HOWEVERA, i AM GOING TO DO IT AGAIN, AND I JUST KNOW THIS TIME I WILL HAVE POND LILIES!!
