Re: Re: CULT: rot-prone irises

Hi Laurie,
I do not know if my soil is accidic. But the only iris I have had rot is Beverly Sills. I do not have a real large collection. We will see what happens with the 50 cultivars I put in last year. No real newbies in this bunch.

  Thank you, Linda, for your response.  Your points are well-taken, and 
  I figured such information might vary widely depending on growing 
  regions and garden conditions.  Clearly I should narrow and restate
  my 
  request.

  I would be very grateful if those of you growing bearded irises in 
  zone 5 or colder in acidic clay soil would identify any cvs which you 
  have found to be rot-prone in your gardens.

  Thanks!
