Our hyacinth that were left exposed have suffered complete
anihilation. Those we kept under translucent plastic have seen very
little attrition.

Can you elaborate on keeping them under translucent plastic? Did you encase
the entire tub or pond in plastic like a greenhouse? Did that keep the
atmosphere above the water above freezing? The answer may be very helpful
to others who would like to try keeping them over.

I kept over some water lettuce, but they were in a heated greenhouse. I also
keep some over in an aquarium in my sunroom.

I live in a very temperate climate (So. Cal, Ventura, CA) and though we
never have freezing temps, my hyacinth all pretty much die out this time
of year. A few bits remain. I usually add a few once the season gets
going.
