I have mine planted in a box of sand. Since the pic was taken, I added more rock to hide the box.

You would have to tie to a rock or do something like the pic above.
You can also float on top of the water by placing through a hole in one of those green foam discs used for making flower arrangements. I have also seen people put them in their overflows.

You can hide a container so they're not floating around.
