Almost all my iris grow in mostly shade. In Texas where the temps
sometimes reach 100 during the bloom season, it's almost necessary. The
only ones I have that are hardy enough to grow in full sun are the very
old ones that came from old homeplaces and so far I haven't had any bloom
from them. Irises that bloom in the shade for me:
Loves the Sun (no pun intended)
Earl of Essex (yes it reblooms)
Lacy Snowflake
Edith Wolford
Brides' Halo
And several others that I haven't found the name for yet.
