Leroy asked about Louisianans in cold zones. We are in Zone 4B and I
have hexagona, Dorothea K. Williamson and nelsoni growing very well.
They stay out throughout the winter and some of the nelsoni are frozen
in 4 inches of ice, without any apparent harm. So far, the first two
have flowered very well and over an extended period of time, and nelsoni
has not yet flowered. I should note that I do not mulch any of my
irises.
Ian, in Ottawa where it remains mild (-1C today)
