I think that everyone has different growing conditions across the US. So
where did the iris first come from before we started messing with it.
The mountains in Italy and somewhere in Hungary. So what were conditions
there?
Probably cold in winter, ... I want to say arid in summer. But I don't really
know. I do know that on the whole if the summer here is dry the iris do
better than a rainy summer. We get tons of rain in the spring which invites
crown rot.
So for this year the iris did great. I haven't watered them and they are
growing strong. The vegetable garden must be watered daily. Now there is the
difference.
