Those are beautiful! I don't have a water lily in my small pond (about 8' x 5'). I was thinking of buying one next spring, but our local store just has lavendar colored water lilies, and I wanted something different...I live in Connecticut, are water lilies hardy enough to stay in the pond all winter long? I know they are hardy, but I only dug my pond this spring, so I'm not sure how hardy it will be...

It's about 3' in the center, going up to 18" deep. Sorry for my rambling here, but do you think if I bought a few plants from you now they would winter over? Or should I just wait and buy them from you in the spring?
