| Have any of you had experience with Water Hawthorne in zone 7 or lower? Looks like a pretty plant and sounds like it might bloom about all winter in the lower portions of zone 7. |

| Frosts and freezes will interrupt the blooms and the leaves, outside of the harsher freezing weather water hawthorn will continue to put out pads and buds in Autumn and Spring cool waters |

| Paul, this is my first year with it. I got sprouted seeds in early Spring and put them in peat pots and plopped them down into a five gallon bucket of water. I sat it in a shady to semi shady spot through the Summer and will pot them as the temps start dropping. I am in zone 7b. |

| pondmaninal: Thanks,where did you get yours? Did you get good service? I think I will order shortly after Labor Day from AquariumPlants.com in Tea, SD 57064. They seem to have the best deal that I have found on the net. |

| Paul, I got them from a ponding friend out in California. I don't think that she is in GW. |

| Mine toughed out a winter here where it's 7 in the hills, 8 on the valley floor. That winter should've put us at 6 for a week. But when I say 'toughed out' I don't mean it went dormant for a few months. No, when I cleaned out my pond, I somehow forgot to put the hawthorne back in. It stayed out, all winter, in the little pot it came in. Full to the top when it rained, iced over during the worst of it. Always a few little leaves at the surface. Come spring I found it, threw it back in, and it spread out just fine. |
