Re: Re: Iris setosa

Iris setosa var. canadensis and Iris hookeri are synonymous, but hookeri is scarcely used any more. I don't find them long lived here either, but I'm going to try more frequent division ( if I get around to it, that is).   Joan Cooper   Minnesota

I think that the short iris also called I. setosa are also
called 'Canadian I. setosa' here (and are from eastern Canada and the
New England states from what i can figure out.)  I think those short
ones are sometimes called I. hallerii (I an not sure my memory is
quite correct on that one???  I am sure there are lots of you that
know the answer to this one.)
    
I think it's Iris hookeri.  Sadly the setosa clan don't do well for me down 
here in Ohio... I think they resent our summer heat which can reach in the 
triple digits.  They're practically annuals (okay, maybe biennials) here in 
my garden.
