'Coyote Moon' does set pods easily (I have only tried it with tets), but it is a rust susceptible plant, and it passes on that rust susceptibility to some extent. (At least, that has been my experience.)

Some dips are easy to set pods on, others are not. I've had no success with 'Newberry White Dove' and 'White Stripe'; I suspect that maybe the long pistils are part of the problem.

Getting back to the tets, I've had difficulty setting pods on 'Mary's Gold' (has long pistils), 'Osterized' (long pistils), 'Magical Indeed' (blunt stigmas or crooked pistils), and to a lesser extent, 'Polly Wolly Doodle' (for the same reasons as 'Magical Indeed'). 'Hip to Be Square', though, is very pod fertile, and the pollen can set pods.
Evaluating an iris seedling, hopefully for rebloom
