We have occasional cases of bloomout too, but for us it always seems to be
the first year plants. They send up a stalk on a single fan that first spring,
and then quietly go away by fall, never sending up an increase. We have heavy
bloom on second year plants, but they always have increases appearing by fall.
Maybe your plants are so happy to bloom where they are they just overdo it in
an attempt to please you? <G>

Does someone on Iris-talk know the cause of this problem, or have any idea of how to prevent or at least minimize it? In the same bed, I have also lost clumps of Sostenique and Gypsy Romance. It always seems to affect second year clumps.
