Re: I. koreana

We did have a cold snap this year, but we've had them before and I've also tried ice cubes. Of course, it might be a combination of factors.

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?
