To date, I have grown agressive wetlands plants in ponds, but I am getting tired of bringing them into the garage over the winter in their pond containers. Thinking about using species like yellow iris, hardy pickerel, horsetail reed, cattails, etc. in the landscape. Would like input on how feasible it is to bury 18" to 24" deep containers in the yard, filled with dirt and water to sustain these plants throughout the year in a zone 5a climate. Could anyone voice their experience, or point me to online information that would help me in pulling off this endeavor?
