That's odd as I have some bearded growing in the garden here. Just a few. I had ordered several hundred dollars worth from Schreiners (being a total idiot) and had pretty much all of them die. Two of these are from local nurseries but are (as far as I know not hybrids with Siberian input). The big test will be that I left some new ones that a ATP friend sent me outside last winter in the ground. The rest I split and kept inside in pots. They are out from snow, all of them outside. Some of the greenery looks yukky, some green. We'll see. If they survive (I have had some survive and bloom for a year or so with huge fans, then die the next year). This winter was so mild (except for a couple of weeks lately when the snow was all but gone and it sat in the single digits. Praying that all came through okay. Heavily mulched with leaves last fall (but not the iris ????) most of the beds.
