Hi..
Try to overwinter Myriophyllum aquaticum outdoors. It's
in a container. Did bog it >60cm (23") deep into a pond last
October, frost-free I hope. It has been icy since November.
Any suggestions or experiences? Thanks.

=================================
I leave mine where it is in the ponds over the winter here in zone 6. They
come back every year without a problem. They do pull themselves under the
surface in the winter and turn a reddish color.
