I usually wait until the local pond shops have their plants.
Then I figure it's safe for me to put mine out. For the
hardy plants, you can usually put these out as soon as they
are available. The tropicals should wait until your last
frost date.

Local pond shops? Bonnie where do you live? I have NO pond shops near me.
