I grow
1 gallon pots of Siberians for sale. My display clumps are in the ground.
When I receive shipment of wholesale divisions in early fall, I pot the
divisions and put the pots in kiddie pools with pretty deep water. After
the winter rains start in earnest, I have removed the pots from the kiddie pools
because the pools are about 9" deep while the pots are about 6" deep. This year
I found some 6" deep kiddie pools which I am now using for Siberians. During
April and May I display the potted Siberians in an 5' x 8' wooden frame that
protects the outer most row from the direct sun. Primarily, I do not want
to be selling pots that were just sitting in up to 6" of water. After
the garden closes to the public, I put the potted Siberians in shaded kiddie
pools all summer long. They do fine as long as I keep some water in the pools.
This probably wasn't the response you were expecting but some of the questions
were probably addressed.
I need
to thank Ellen for allowing photo attachments. The frame to the right of
the potting bench probably has the Siberians. The area is the main sales
area for the carriage trade portion of the business.

I have recently read a couple books saying Siberians are good water garden plants. Anyone using them in water gardens?
