Ellen G.  in Zone 3

Maybe we'll have some info to share.  I belong (subscribe) to a daylily
robin and many of those folks are from warmer climes so it is tough
sometimes to sift through the advice.  As far as my climate, it is zone 3,
40 below or more this winter and we have had now 8 and 1/2 months of
continuous snow cover. I'm ready for it to go any day.

I really have not had any trouble with tall beardeds, but really only
expanded my plantings last year with outside iris other than local grown.  I
planted many from Schreiner's and Cooley's and we will see shortly how they
stood up to the weather.  I'll let you know.  But I should add that I
normally plant and grow Zone 5 things maybe because we are blessed with such
abundant and dependable snow cover and so mercifully do not have free-thaw
cycles.

I am a comparative novice to Siberians, I have grown them only a few years
and I like them very much but so far have not been very successful in
flowering them.  I planted some Japanese last year but I didn't do well with
them.  If you have been successful, I'll have to try harder.  

Have you tried any Loisianas?  I think they are beautiful but wonder if I
would be foolish to try them so far north.

Pseudocorus does well here.
