Hi Barbara,
I'm not sure whether or not the arilbreds will do
well for you up there. I've read and have been told that they really
tend to grow well in the dryer warmer climates. However, I've also
read/heard that the arilbreds which have been bred using TB's are easier to
grow in tougher climates like yours, than those which do not have TB's in their
background.
I hope this helps you. And I hope someone
more knowledgeable on the subject can answer this more thoroughly for you.

Hi Margie and all,
That is a wonderful looking
iris!
I have always been told that the arilbreds do not survive up here
in the
frozen north (Canadian Prairies). Someone said that 1/4 breds
MAY survive
but I have never met anyone who has actually tried it in my
area. Does
anyone know the zone limit on these babies (full, half,
one-quarter
breds)? They are just wonderful looking.
I'm
trying Japanese and Louisiana this year for the first time but won't be
leaving them outside for the winter. My plant storage area is going
to be
really full this fall. :)
Thanks for any
information.
