Diana,
Iris unguicularis cannot be grown outdoors in your climate. I do not
know the northern limit for certain, but I would be either USDA Zone 8a or
Zone 7. In your climate, it would make a good potted plant. It blooms
during the winter.
Mark A. Cook Low: 48 F ( 9 C)
billc@atlantic.net High: 55 F (13 C)
Dunnellon, FL. Now: 54 F (12 C) 3.73 inches of rain. Still raining.
