How Do I Prepare My Pond For Winter?
To ready your pond for winter, start by adding your last dose of fertilizer in August. Just before your first frost, you should tend to all of your plants by removing and pruning all dead foliage. Do this forall plants you are leaving in the pond except hornwort, anacharis, vallisneria, and horsetail rush which can stay green. Taro and Canna can tolerate one good frost and then be dug up and tubers/rhizomes saved in onion bags in a cool, dark place through the winter.
How do I prepare Hardy Waterlilies for winter:
1. Prune dead foliage, cutting it back below the water's surface
2. Place the container with the crown of the plant beneath the freeze line where ice forms in the winter.
In the spring, the plant should send up new growth as the days get longer and water becomes warmer.
