I read an artical about some place in Colorado and they stored their water lilies in damp (not wet) peat moss. I think they also treated them with a fungicide. I've stored lotus tubers treated with a fungicide that way and had pretty good success with keeping them inside a plastic storage bag in a cooler in the garage.

I think you should divide them and feed with fertilizer frequently for best bloom. I think this pot of hardy lilies was about two years old. As you can see, it's already broken the pot in several places.
