I never thought about mulch. Good idea. The ground was frozen about 12" deep where the lilies were, so I'm glad that I pushed them deeper than I had planned.

I'm going to be treating the pond with fluridone next week for milfoil, so even tho the PPB will be low, I'm taking the lilies, varigated sweet flag (digging it out of the pond), eelgrass (that's still in tubs), and a couple of American Pondweed plants out of the pond. Just in case I figured the PPB wrong and the dosage is higher than 5-6 ppb.

wigwam, mulching the lilies that are in shallow water now might help them survive. Hopefully you will get some rain this Fall to bring the pond up before winter.
