Arilbreds have done fine for me in Cincinnati, Ohio. I've been
gardening for about 5 summers now... and have been raising arilbreds
for the last 4. Most grow well in regular iris beds, but the
touchier ones (with more aril content) should be grown in raised beds
and buried under at least 1/2" of soil (unlike other irises which
have the rhizomes exposed)... at least that's what works best for me.
