Water lilies over winter in the water if you can get it deep enough that
it won't freeze. If that is not possible, let the pots dry out in a
cool place and keep in a cool, dark, dry place over the winter.

Iris is hardy. It will be OK.

Water lettuce and water hyacinth are tender floaters. They can be kept
indoors as a water plant over the winter. They shouldn't be put back
into the pond until the water temperature is up to 65F.

Parrot's feather is not reliably hardy, so it is best to bring stem
cuttings indoors and overwinter where them indoors.
