Has anybody put their container water garden to bed yet for the winter? I have nowhere to keep my hardy water lilies over the winter. The only thing I can think of is to cut the foliage down to the tuber, wrap in damp newspaper, and store the package in the frig for the winter. Does anybody have any other ideas? Here it is after a summer of delightful Helvola (hardy) blooms. I have two plants. Also, a Lizard's Tail which I'd like to keep and don't know how.
