Hi LynneNY,
I take all the pond lilies get them ready for fall and put them in the deep end of the pond for winter. Now I know that is wayyyyy too deep, as when I tried pulling them out...most of them escaped ! They were down in about 8-10 ft. of water and sending up pads and flowers!! I bought an Aquatic Marginal, Rose Mallow(hibbe),' Marvel Mix'
in the fall I planted it in the garden, this spring put in the shallow end of the pond in clay. So far it is growing tall, and has quite a few leaves
I was sent some Sweet Flag from a sweet gal on here
I had it in the pond, then in the fall I planted them in the back garden too! Since putting it in the pond it's just growing away! Hope it grows a little too
I also planted some ribbon grass in the clay, at the shallow end. I never knew it loved the water! I had always grown in in the garden. Guess we never know until we try
