My Pond Plants and Winter

Thank you David for your comments.  I'd like to share a response to this question from industry expert Aaron Powers.

"Aquatic plants are the same as terrestrials in which the perennials can be expected to survive, and the annuals can be expected to die, unless you pull them (the annuals) out of the pond, place them in a bucket of water, and store them in a warm place. Unless of course you are one of the lucky ones that lives in a near tropical climate. The perennials or ‘hardy’ water plants, on the other hand, are like the proverbial Timex watch. They just keep on ticking season after season."

There are a number of articals about winterizing your pond in general that deel with plants as well. Reading these should help but if you have more specific question. Post it with a brief discription of your pond . IE. size depth reginal zone type of plants ect. as all these things change the answers you need . I have gained a fair amount of experiance but Garth our host has a large amount of experance and many experts on speed dial ;)
