Eva,
I overwinter my hardy lilies on the bottom of my 12x20x2ft pond since it
doesn't freeze there. It just might take them a while to get going in the
spring since they like warmer temps. I've never had particularly good luck
overwintering tropicals - it takes them too long to get their strength back
in the spring.
