Re: Verna vs cristata foliage?

 

I know what you mean, Dennis.  About 15 miles or so from here, a couple of my garden friends have Immortality rebloom regularly in their gardens, whereas I can barely keep mine alive long enough to bloom once.
 
I've got 2 little pieces of I cristata trying to grow here for the last 2 yrs.  Just when I think they're dead, little shoots appear.  I might try moving them to an even sunnier spot surrounded by pea gravel.  Maybe I tried to protect them too much.

Wow, that looks beautiful!  I wish I could help, but I can't grow verna or cristata in my garden.   Arils from central Asia?  Sure!  No problem!  But native irises from just 50 miles away?  I kill them.  It drives me crazy!!!
