Iris sites.. does anyone bougth from any of theese?
Comments (5)I have ordered from both Aitkins and Cooleys. Both places sent healthy accurately labeled iris rhizomes. The only reason I was disappointed with Cooleys is because I was going by the pictures in their catalog and a couple were not as pictured. The pictures were very untrue. I was a novice and did not realize that pictures can be unreliable. I loved Aitkins because I received more "bonus rhizomes" and they selected all from my "bonus list"....See MoreDoes anyone grow iris?
Comments (30)Hi chelone :-) I have some of your Siberian iris! lol I really should rename them Rte 95 iris. :-) I just found out from someone on the iris forum who is planning on going into the iris business in 2008, that she has over 100 varieites of siberian iris so far. I didn't even know there were that many. They seem indestructible. So tell me, are all your German iris unnamed? Are they tall bearded, or other? I haven't tried the Japanese, and guess I won't considering I have dry soil pretty much and no low spots to speak of. Have any photos of some of your iris? :-)...See MoreAnyone grow Spuria Iris?
Comments (3)They bloom in spring for a week. The flowers are like dutch iris with multiple blooms on a long stalk. I really like them. They are easy to grow and don't require water in the summer. They do go dormant so you need to cut back the leaves and stalk if you don't like looking at yellow leaves. My soil is clay and they are very happy there. They need full sun. I have I.orientalis. It's a white with yellow falls. I can trade for other colors like purple, burgundy....See MoreDoes anyone grow Iris versicolor ?
Comments (2)Oh wow. Mine don't look so good. I have 3 plants. They lingered all summer long and did nothing, they didn't even grow - but they didn't die either. I live in Southern New Jersey, and have sandy soil, so have to keep things wet because the soil dries out very quickly. My Iris virginica took off and bloomed but my Iris versicolors did not. Hopefully next year they will look better and GROW ! thanks....See Moremmmm12COzone5
