Re: I. koreana

 

I grow it in the same bed with my MDBs and SDBs and Iris cretensis.  And it blooms every year for me.  So I'd say it has similar requirements to those kinds of irises.  Did you maybe have a colder winter this year?  I wonder if that triggered it to bloom?

I was going to send this picture, but don't think I did. I took it three weeks ago. This is the first blooming of Iris koreana for me. I bought it from Joe Pye Weed in 2001. I'm not sure what was different, unless I gave it more fertilizer. Is this iris considered a heavy feeder?

Just got this in Fall 2008. It actually had a few flowers last year. 
It's much larger this year and seems happy enough. This is Koreana 
#6 from Joe Pye Weed. It's doing well enough I'm tempted to divide 
and try it in other locations in the garden.
