Peace Lillies doing well in our pond...
 
Just wanted to pass this along.. we got 3 peace lillies this year, around
easter time. You rinse off the roots, and thenwrap them around a rock or
something heavy, so they don't float.

Put them in the pond so the leaves stick out, and you should get blooms
within a few months.

I was told this, and 2 of the 3 in our pond have flowers now, and the third
still looks very healthy.

Supposedly, they are hardy, and survive winter with no problems.

I've never tried them in the pond, but they are excellent for an indoor
ponsai too. :o) ~ jan

If they're the typical Spathiphyllums or Peach Lilies they are NOT hardy.
The first frost will kill them.

flowers.

==============================
I have no idea what the climate is in Waynesville NC. I do know these are
tropical plants and can't tolerate frost. I'm sure you can find information
on them on the net.

Hint: Be careful whose advice you take at Wal-Mart. ;-)

inhabiting our pond now!

Cool. I always get excited when I see something new/different around the
ponds and I love seeing my little treefrogs where ever I might be working
in the yard. ~ jan
