When I built my Koi pond I left a corner shelf for a large water lily that I had.
(Left hand front)
It was planted up in a large laundry basket with heavy water worn rocks to prevent the fish from rooting around in it.
I placed the basket on the wall then laying over the wall I swung the basket over...... Doh, the weight of the basket dropped like a stone to the depths of the pond with me following holding on so it didn't spill it's contents into the water!
The pond was over five feet deep!
As you can see the lily never made it finally into the pond.
So stupid but oh the joys of fish keeping!
