Lucy, what is wrong with the variegated form of
I. pallida? Not vigorous?
Sherry, that is a generous offer. Thank you! I have some 'Busy Being Blue' or 'Sweet Musette' to trade, if you don't have those.
I've had mortality problems with BJ iris too... also misidentification.
I may check into 'Variegated Wonder' next year (at least, I put it on my ever-growing list of "plants of interest", which I really have no room for...)
The problem with variegated daylilies is that the variegation is often (usually?) unstable. I don't know if that is true with the Monrovia daylily ('Golden Zebra'???
http://www.monrovia.com/plant-... ) but I think that I saw it at one of the Summerwinds, and I didn't care for the plant. (I don't like short daylilies, didn't care for the flowers, and I am also, to be honest, turned off by daylilies which are patented.)
I do have the diploid daylily 'White Stripe' which I got from Howard Hite, but the variegation there is unstable, and I have been unable to set any seed on the blooms. The plants have gone dormant for the year and the whole clump needs to be dug up, rogued, beefed up nutritionally and maybe moved to a sunnier spot; the jasmine has been trying to smother it, and the fans have gotten small and most did not bloom this year.
