The hyacinths and lettuce are tropical plants and are generally considered
expendable. Buy new each year. I have seen a number of people say that
they have tried to overwinter them in the house, but there is insufficient
light, unless you have a tremendous number of grow lights, and they die.
You can start a season with 2 or 3 and by mid season, it is compost time for
large numbers of them. I am able to overwinter mine, but I build a
greenhouse like structure over my pond and heat the ponds to 70.

My local garden shop has water lettuce for $0.25 I bought 16 of them and
through in the pond already. With it being so late in the year they just
aren't selling them. I also got a few other things I think they were
called
water Hyacinths (SP) they look like a group of floating radishes. How do
you
over winter this kind of stuff? I would like to put them in a wood indoor
pond that is 10'9" wide x 4'8" long by 2'4" deep.
