Hi! I grow several water lilies in pots. I wouldn't use a terra cotta pot unless it is glazed though. The water will seep through it. Last year I had one with dwarf papyrus, pickerel rush, taro and a water lily. I don't usually use fish but do use a mosquito killer in them.
I use those new light weight pots.
They like a lot of sun but other then that are rather easy to care for.

I grew water lillys in a barrel pond.I had bought a liner,but they sell plastic drop in liners in the states for $20.Its proably about the same liner versis a drop in liner,but the drop in would last& can also be used seperately alone as well.
I think the clay would be harder to keep in your climate,but could always move indoors for them cold months.

I out grew my barrell pond.too many plants& then they grew too boot. 1 cat tail turned into 12+ by end of year.
