Rhein Nixe looks like a winner!

The surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that it has never tried to contact us.

Hopefully I will have some Rhein Nixe to share next season. Maybe also Loreley and Gypsy Queen as well. All very nice oldies.

How about the dwarf irises for edging?

Lucy, I love the dwarfs for edging! I love all the small/intermediate types- they're very user friendly for the mixed border....and the gardener who bites off more than he can chew sometimes, LOL.

You should come to the Bluegrass Iris Society meetings. We have several experts and hybridizers who can help you out as well as a sale of all sorts of varieties that will bloom well in KY! We meet on the third Thursday every other month in Lexington. See our FB page and website bluegrassiris.org
