I was thinking about dedicating a spot in my garden to
a clump of Louisianna irises. Right now the spot has a big group
of False dragonheads (obedient plants) that I'm getting
tired of. My question is, do Louisianna iris grow tall enough
to be visible toward the back of a border? My spurias (orientalis
I think...white) get about 5 feet tall, for cultural comparison.
The louisiannas would be behind some daylilies (fulva) and a big
clump of black eyed susans.
I have really admired some of the Louisianna hybrid photos
I have seen, but I have never seen one in person. I have read
that the Louisiannas grow into broad clumps, and that they tend
to walk around a bit. Also, is there anything I need to know about
these plants aside from lots of water?
(I'm a siberian enthusiast, but these are not tall enough to
show up well in the spot I describe above).
