Water Lilly Plant (Downley HP13)

I have been thinning out the plants in my pond and have a couple of water lilly roots available. One root is in a basket and could just be dropped into a pond as it is but would benefit from thinning or replanting. Other root is loose and will come in a plastic bag, but again could just be dropped into a pond although would benefit from proper planting. Both have a lot of leaves and produce a white flower. They are not small plants and need deepish water.
Please say if you want the pre-planted, loose or either.
