Plant in Loam Soil (this is topsoil with no organic compost added; stay away from bagged soil as it has a lot of compost that will rot in water. Much of the USA is covered in excellent loam soil, which is precisely what you should find under healthy turf/grass. If you live in an area of the USA without good loam, we offer PondGro Aquatic Loam Soil which you can add up to 40% sand to make the volume more once it arrives, but no higher than 40% sand, or the soil will not contain enough nutrients in the mix. 
Winter Safe in Zones 9-12

PondGro Aquatic Soil is perfect for those who do not have access to plain good topsoil for their waterlilies. We never suggest aquatic planting media, pea gravel, or other stones for pond plants. You will end up with lots of mortality and plants that never perform. Only plain sifted Topsoil should ever be used for waterlilies; it can have a heavy sand base or clay base but should not include organic compost, so never buy anything bagged as that always has compost added, which floats and rots. 

For in-ground ponds with no liner, these, again, prefer full sun. Best anchored into the embankment soil just 6 to 10 inches below the waterline when planted. Consider temporary fencing for 6 to 10 weeks when establishing in existing ponds with wildlife so that plants can get ahead of any plant predators like raccoons, turtles, etc.
