Can Amazon Frogbit survive in a pond (Canada?)

I have somebody wanting to buy some Frogbit from me, but I don’t have any ponds or know how they work, so I’m unsure.

It’s obviously March here, so Spring soon, but a bit cold-ish but getting warmer right now 8 Celsius, and some rain upcoming.

Would they survive in his pond, or do I tell him know.

Thanks

 

what does water temp get to in the winter? If you want something immortal try duckweed lol.

I'm actually not too sure!

In most of Canada you need a pretty big pond to not have it freeze solid.

 

I live in the Chicago area. We have a number of drainage ponds in the area that are pretty deep. We had a long stretch of temperatures well below freezing this winter. The ponds froze over for several weeks on end. Once they thawed out, there were a lot of dead fish, presumably suffocated from lack of oxygen Thus, unless the Canadian pond has a heater to prevent the surface from freezing solid, I doubt frogbit will survive.

 

My climate is probably warmer that any part of Canada? Frogbit doesn’t survive winter outdoors with minus 7 Celsius / 19 .4 F.

 

Thank you guys!

I ended up not selling it to him, because he just gave me a thumbs up, but didn't get a respond about wanting to buy after, plus I heard it might be illegal to sell Frogbit for ponds, but I don't know.

 

Don't put duckweed in a pond ever you'll destroy it.
