Water Lilies question

[Gemma]

What is the "minimum" depth the water lilies have to be in, to survive the winter?

It depends on how far down your pond freezes. As long as the tuber doesn't freeze, it will be fine.

I push mine down to about 18 inches. I have a few I have never moved and they seem to survive. But to be safe I sink mine.

Go by how deep your pond ice freezes.

Thank you, both!

Unfortunately, my answers on a topic like this won’t be helpful — I leave mine at their current depth (not sure, maybe 18” or 2’), as it doesn’t get cold enough here for the water to freeze.
