    I'm sure it will be fine there for the time being until you complete your pond.
    Garden Centres that sell water lilies usually keep them in tanks with just a couple of inches of water above them.

    If yours is a dwarf lilly then they're usually kept about 12" below the top of the water (mine sits on top of an upturned  clay pot).
    If it's a bigger lilly then they prefer 18-24" water above them.
