WIntering Hardy Lilly in LA question
My pond is about to slip into shade for the winter. I am not worried
about freezing, but the water will dip down close to the 50's for the winter... Anyway, what do I do with a hardy lilly for proper wintering in Los Angeles. I have no sunny place to put it and keep it in the water... It will get lots of reflected sunshine, but no direct light. Thanks in advance Carl www.cobaltbluefilms.com/koi.html -- -- http://www.cobaltbluefilms.com |

Hi Carl, Just trim off the leaves and put the lily pot on the bottom
of your pond. It winters over easily in all climates to zone 4! Now - having said that - I wonder if it needs the cold to stay alive? Someone in warmer weather than mine will have to answer that one.

Thanks in advance Carl www.cobaltbluefilms.com/koi.html I'm in Zone 4 so I have no sympathy for you. It should be just fine in the pond where it will produce less pads and flowers. Happy water gardening. |

50's???? thats still spring and fall LOL!!! no offense intended but you have no clue what a real winter is :) OK,,,, I do deserve that to an extent... But, I was raised in North West Wyoming, right outside of Yellowstone. I have woke up to find no exit out of the house cause the snow is 8 feet deep. I have been in 40 below zero weather - car doors frozen, engine frozen, life frozen... But, I admit, I have become soft since coming to LA. I do really miss weather, and a governor, an economy, fresh air, mountains, no silicone, and normalcy (whatever that is). Carl -- -- http://www.cobaltbluefilms.com |
