Name: Rosie HILLSBOROUGH, NC (Zone 7b) If it sparkles - I'm there!
I am going to move the iris my neighbor gave me to a more conducive spot.
And since what I read says deer won't eat and if they do browse to test the waters.... Won't kill.
And I will try some new varieties...other than this 'chocolate' which is not...
So..off the top of your head ( because I need to look and learn for myself )
Can you make iris recommendations for starting the iris garden?
Will iris take a few years to bloom...because that will impact the site I choose.
Do you think they show better if all one color --in a swath or do you mix them up with other colors -- or should I mingle with other companion plants? I will do the research but it won't be as good as your experience. Thank you.
The one iris grouping I have has bloomed little...and the iris looks like a bridal bouquet from the 60's ..long and wide.. Very unusual stripes in the middle ..solid color petals in other areas. I would describe as a stacked double.... I think I would like to shoot for the singles that appear to be only one bloom.
Don't squat with yer spurs on!
People try to turn back their "odometers." Not me. I want people to know 'why' I look this way. I've traveled a long way and some of the roads weren't paved
