Question

Answer 1

they are water lillies. What does that name suggest?

They do not drown

Answer 2

Yes water Lilly's can drown if planted too low down in the water as the leaves need to reach the top of the water to photosynthesis.

Answer 3

THEY DONT DROWN, BUT CAN BREAK IF THE RISE OF WATE IS HIGH. THIS IS BECAUSE THEY ARE ANCHORED TO THE GROUND OF A SHALLOW POND

Answer 4

actually,they won't do well if you plant them too deep!they will "drown"!
