Thanks!!

I really wanted Anton Mego's "Burst of Energy" 2019 Sutton introduction, but it suffered "roundup blow over" last season and isn't currently available. I hope it makes a return. It was the ONLY one I WANTED last year.

Burst of Energy


Wild Surprise reminds me of it and has its own beauty.

Did you see Paul Black's Coloricious? It reminds me of Burst of Energy also.

No. I'll pot them up first. I have a bunch more from last year that will get grounded this year.

Richard, do you pot all your first year Iris before translating them out second year? This is my first year planting iris when my rather large order comes in and as our beds are going to be in progress until Spring 2022 most likely so this idea appeals to me. Do you do decorative pots or growing containers?

I get ahead of myself when it comes to ordering plants but not quite having their home ready and find myself doing seasonal shuffles as our beds come together.

I always pot mine up when I receive them in July. Then I plant them out in September. Then they have a sturdy root system, instead of putting them in the ground in July and having the possibility of drying out. Also, it protects the gardener (me) from overexertion in the hot sun!

I do exactly the same Evelyn. I used to put everything right into the ground but having them in the pot first seems to promote root growth more.
