Re: sunlight tolerance

I have it planted in full sun in my cold greenhouse. Grows like a weed,
crowds out it's neighbors.. Outside it struggles and every couple of
years does not make it through winter.

Â
How much sunlight can Iris tectorum tolerate? I've always grown it
shaded alongside Iris foetidissima. Can it take full sun? I'm quickly
running out of shady places to plant new things, so I'll either have to
create a new bed with a sunscreen, or try my new tectorum seedlings in
full sun.


How much sunlight can Iris graminea tolerate? I grew it under an oak
tree where it was fairly heavily shaded in summertime. Last fall I
limbed up that tree, and now the graminea will get almost full sun.Â
