Hi everyone! I live in Winnipeg, and have a new pond this year. My pond is about 3.5 feet deep, with only rocks on the bottom. My question is: will my plants and Lillies survive the -30 weather in the ice, or do I need to bring them in for the winter? If so, can that be done without keeping them in water? Thanks in advance!
First winter for plants!

Welcome to our group!
My lilies do fine as long as the tuber stays lower then the ice that covers the pond. If the tuber freezes the lily will die. All other plants are hardy for our area they do just fine outside.

They do great.
@LisaZ - another Lisa! They're coming out of the woodwork now. We must be all around the same age. I had 4 Lisas in my small elementary school - one class per grade, and there were still four of us!
Anyway - your lilies will do just fine in your pond. They'll be far below the ice at the bottom. Are your other plants in pots or planted directly in the pond?
