Water Hibiscus

[Karen]

This is the first year I've had a water hibiscus. Currently it is in the hole
of a concrete block and did very well. Question is, does it stay there over
winter or should I drop it below the freeze line.

Same question for water mint, leave it where it's growing now or sink it?

Thanks

Hey Karen,

My water hibiscus plants do fine in the pond, but like most other plants,
and as far as I know with swamp hibiscus, you don't what the crown or roots
to freeze.

Also, I know how strong the root mass is, and how fast mine grows, you
might want to get it out of that concrete block, before you can't get it
out at all. ;o) ~ jan

Hi Jan,

It's still in a pot that sits down the hole of the block, I was going to wait
til spring to repot it, but if I need to drop it below the freeze line, then
guess I'll do it now while the weather is holding out.

What about the water mint in the filter? Should I just drop it in the pond or
plant it and then drop it.

Thanks
