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 |

WIntering Hardy Lilly in LA question
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. |

WIntering Hardy Lilly in LA question
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 |
