Re: Iris missouriensis

 

Iris missouriensis grows so poorly in the Pacific Northwest that Jean Witt named a wide cross that did well in Seattle, and looked very like this species, 'Faux Mo’.

I'm curious, who here grows I. missouriensis outside of it's native range?  Does it grow & bloom well for you?  Where was your source material?

I've never been able to establish it from seed (they germinate but die before blooming), so maybe I should try plants next.

I once tried I. longipetala from seed, but it turned out to be a white Siberian.  That frustration got channeled into me making the SIGNA Species Database 15+ years ago.  :-D
