Re: albino vesper iris

 

In southern NM, I grew it alongside TBs in the era before I discovered that TBs had a much higher survival rate if provided the protection of shadecloth.  It outperformed them, so I'd say that its shade requirements were less than that of TBs.  Flowers were extremely short-lived, but the clump persisted.

While we or on the subject of dichotoma, I would really like to know what conditions have worked best for everyone. Old articles suggested that it should be grown in shade but the same article makes me suspect because it also said it was very shortlived. If I remember correctly Jim Waddick found it growing in the wild in short grassland, no trees with near desert conditions. I feel like I have never given it what it really wants but I do not know what that is.
