hi fellow california people! i was wondering if anyone is growing lotus?? if so , how do YOU overwinter your lotus?? i live in the san jauquin valley so its hot hot hot here! but in the winter it does get cold but we rarely freeze. although it can happen for a couple of days. last year i overwintered two lotus in the lotus bog pond and the rest in buckets. the only winter survivers were the two in the pond!! i wonder why?? were not THAT cold?? so back to my question, how do YOU OVERWINTER your lotus?? any advice?? thanks...
