Welcome to Iris Talk. You should be able to grow many types of Irises
in North Carolina. I moved to Florida last fall, and am trying to grow
some Irises here.

There are several other members of this list that are interested in
the older Irises. Are you a member of AIS? There is a section devoted
entirely to historic (30 or more years old) Irises.
You might wish to join it.
