Re: I. Setosa

---

Where I live the average high temperature in the middle of the winter is 55 degrees and hard freezes are rare. Despite their arctic origins, I've had good luck with setosas going through dormancy. I don't think 42 degrees F is too high for most setosas, if that is what you are concerned with.

I. Setosa I have an I. setosa seedling the only survivor and I have it in my pond. I am getting ready to winterize the pond which includes a heater that keeps the water at 42oF
Is it safe to leave her in the pond?
