Can anyone give advice on how to overwinter a Louisiana iris? It’s in a pot at the edge of my pond. The tag says it’s a zone 4 and goes down to -30F. That’s well below my zone 7. Can I leave it in the water or should I bring it in? Thanks in advance!

It should be just fine overwintering in the pond if you're zone 7.

Leave it where it is. It will be fine. The irises in the my pond get cut back this time of the year and I leave them alone. They just grow larger every year, so no problems, except for having to try to.control them.

Leave it , I cut mine back all of the time. Actually plant them in the ground.
It will be fine.
