Wow! I knew you were an Iris fan, Eileen - but that's a wonderful collection. They've done very well. I particularly like Jump Start - a lovely dark colour. I could do with some hints about how to care for mine! |

For some reason, Devil May Care got posted twice (have since deleted) and Dawn Cascade didn't appear: here it is:  Will post some info after dinner, Angie, am about to go and start it. |

Angie, I was really surprised at how little info I could find on line re cultivation; started with the BIS (British Iris Society as I thought it would be more appropriate for your climate); not much, more on the AIS. Basically, it boils down to at least 6 hours of sun, good drainage and clean cultivation. This may be helpful\: http://www.theirisgarden.co.uk/cultbeard.html |

Thanks for that Eileen. I have to say that I am glad you found info hard to find - I have too and just wondered whether you with your experience with Iris growing had some tips. I was intrigued about putting an aspirin under the rhizome - wonder what that does??? Some people seem to cut the leaves into a fan shape - presumably in the autumn so the plant doesn't rock in winter gales etc. but I can't find anything about how or why. It's very odd. I could find practical info on every other plant, but as you say, info on Irises is limited! |
