CULT: Perennializing reticulatas

From: "Robert Dickow" <dickow@uidaho.edu>

I planted quite a few different bulbous reticulata
type iris a few years ago, yellows, blues, and
purples of common cultivars. Most deteriorated and
went blind in the second year--as is normal--with
the exception of some clumps of a dark blue/purple
plant that gets better and better each year. Is this
a known phenomenon for certain clones, or was I
just lucky at planting them in the right place and
at the right depth? I didn't bother to note down
where I planted each variety, so I have no idea what
the names are on the perennialized ones.
