Re: SV: More junos

---

Mark,

there are some freeze sensitive junos, not all need cold. What they do need is close to desert conditions during their Summer-Winter rest, otherwise most tend to rot. I have found them easy from seed in most cases, but take a few years to mature to blooming size. A really fascinating groups of iris which should have a few species you could try. I find I. aucheri is a bit frost sensitive and may be a good starting point. I'm sure someone knowing more will chime in, here. And the seed exchange typically offers a few species.

Lars,

ÂÂÂÂ I guess the Juno Irises like fairly cold weather?Â
