Amy:
My Mom wanted me to select a red-white-blue theme, too, for an
iris garden...New Centurion was one of the ones I was considering.
What about Unforgettable Fire??
For the white, I thought maybe Winter Olympics or Snowy
Owl..something with a white beard. For the blue, I was thinking of
Last Hurrah and/or Pledge Allegiance. I think a true dark blue is
tough to find. Just from pictures they seemed close to what I was
looking for. I'm not interested in $30-40 cultivars for this project.
Any suggestions? Or anyone familiar with those I named above?
Thanks,
Laetitia (from NJ)

where you live, we still don't know now. Different irises do very
differently in different parts of the country. If all of us know
where you live, those in your area can tell you what probably will or
will not do well there.
