I would groom any leaves off the lilies, store them in some water. The iris cut back and store the roots in water. Change the water now and then so it does not stink.

Yes you don't get as cold as we do, ie the water would freeze. If it did that would kill the tuber.
Since all of my fish died after treating the pond for ich and fungus i decided to start over. Empty and replace filter material. I discarded all of my plants and i ordered two lilies.
My question is since the pond is only 700 Gal i need a small lilly pot.I see only 19" Dia.pots.
Also what verity iris will do well in a 10" floating pot? Thanks.
