What are some aquarium plants that can tolerate/thrive in colder water. I'm looking for both submerged and immersed. The temp range would be 55-70 degrees depending on the time of year.

Definitely a consideration, I would have to do a ton of research to make sure they wont have a detrimental effect, such as some plants can release toxins if stressed, which in a large body of water would not have a big of an impact as in an aquarium setting. I'm more looking for typical plants for aquarium or that could be purchased at LFS, lowes/home depot or online plant stores.
I think jungle vals and dwarf sag would work since they are found in waters in north america
Anubias, bacopa, ludwiga, hydrophila and various crypts would do well providing the rest of the conditions are met. I have 3 cold water tanks.
Above water, any tropical plants that tolerate their roots in the water will do well as I am assuming your tank is inside, so the choice is big but some trial and error maybe in order. Just research and experiment, nothing wrong with that.
