Thread: Lily not doing well?

Hi all
recently built a pond garden as an add on to my main pond four of the plants seem to be doing very well but the lily in the middle not so, it’s grown new leaves since going in but as soon as they reach full size, they die off to be replaced by another, bought the larger variety with the idea it would cover the pond and shade the water from direct sunlight but it’s not happening at the moment, I’m running approx 4,000lph through this pond on advice from others, is this to much for the lily, my other plants are in the corners so out of the direct flow?

I’ve moved to the back wall see if that helps, if not I might need a rethink and maybe different plants in the middle.
