Hey Gang,

I'm curious, right now my water is about 35 to 40F and slowly warming up as spring creeps into Northern Wisconsin. I purchased some hardy water lillies, some pikeral weed, and some water iris from Menards about 3 weeks ago and I noticed they are tring to sprout out of the plastic bags they are in. Is it too cold for me to plant them in the water now? I'm not going to use baskets because I want them to spread around my shoreline. The pond is 15' deep so no need to worry about the lillies taking over the whole pond.

My understanding is that I just make a hole in the muck and plant them in it... is it just that simple?

What temp should I wait to plant them in? What would you do?

THANKS!
