mbotanas said:My mother-in-law, who was the wife of one of the Cayeux brothers (Iris Cayeux) left some rhizomes in the cellar for 5 years. She finally planted them out and they're blooming beautifully! I believe they can take a lot and do just fine - I've only lost any to water damage so far (in 12 years of collecting), but I do put them in the shade when they've been pulled up.
Some even disappear for a year or 2 - then show up again. Always such a nice surprise!
