I'm glad you mentioned the dappled shade. Although I moved EW to a bed
with more compost, I hadn't thought or connected to the fact that my clump
of EW is getting dappled shade too! Nice observation. I was looking at it
tonight, and it's going to have quite a few nice stalks! Thanks for
sharing this tibbit!

> I have Edith Wolford in a very dappled shade location. The Rhizomes are
exposed to open air. The soil is on the tough side and needs amendments to
lighten it up. It has divided admirably there and looks like it will have 3
or 4 bloomstalks this year. I was going to move part of it but after what I
have read I may just leave it as long as it does not crowd itself. It only
gets sun until 10 or 11 am. It also gets reflected light off the windshield
of my car. I have had other iris I had to move into the sun to make happy
but this is not one of them. I do use supersulfate once in the spring and
again in the fall. Maybe this will help. I hope so. My flowers on this plant
are just luminous with beautiful branching. It tolerated 111 degrees for a
week last summer and 30 below with no cover last December. Maybe it can not
tolerate full sun.
