Hi Betty, I haven’t grown this species, but I think it’s definitely worth trying here in upstate NY. Ken in Ithaca From: iris-species@yahoogroups.com [mailto:iris-species@yahoogroups.com]
On Behalf Of Betty Hi, folks, I’m new to your forum and also new to this species. Can you tell me more about this iris? While we were in Arizona late last November, we picked up this post card packet of seeds identified as Rocky Mountain Iris (Iris missouriensis). The packet said it will grow in most climes of the world, so we took a chance. We have a large property with some wet areas (Genesee County in Western New York State a few miles east of Lake Erie) is mostly wet areas, I sometimes think!) It also survives drought. Go figure. Therefore a weed? What do the experts here say? Here are photos from the seed packet. I think you can enlarge the photos if you click on them.
Betty, always eager to learn a thing or two |
