Salt sensitive - tolerant plants

This winter will be our first with the new pond. The temperatures are already dropping off a lot with several frosts and water temps dipping in the 50s and 60s. Below is a list of plants in the pond. The first group is reported tolerant of salting but I am not sure of the others. I would like to salt going into winter to make sure things go well. My plan is to salt at .1% a day for three days to reach a level of .3%.


Blue Flag Iris

Louisiana iris

Cold hardy lily

Water Primrose, Ludwigia

Willow, Salix

Cattail, Typha

Spatterdock, Nuphar luteum

Sedges, Carex

Water Mint, Mentha aquatica

Watercresses, Nasturtium

Water Celery, Oenanthe javanica

Parrot's Feather, Myriophyllum aquatica

Duck potato, Sagittaria latifolia

Any ideas where to look for this info?

Thank you Dustin
