My Pond Lily

[danabird]

My pond flowers are getting ready to bloom and I can't wait to see them, I forgot the colors I bought. I have a question...What do I do with the plants in the winter? Do I leave them in the little pond? Ive never had done this before.

Hi
Definitely leave it in the pond year round. It will do just fine.

Garden Guy-
I have two lotus seed left if you would like to give it a try. You will have to cut them back and bring them in an aquarium for the cold months but it is definitely a possibility. LMK

You are very kind.
Do I need an aquarium or can it be left in water in the basement?

Do you have any hints for the lotus seeds? I have some I'm wanting to try .... I found that in Texas,water gardening is easy,ya can't kill em from drought conditions.
