Re: REB:Siberians &TBs
From: Chris Darlington <chris.darlington@sympatico.ca>
Hi Shauna,
Just out of curiousity , which TB's rebloom well for you in zone 3. The
reason I'm asking is that we spotted an 8 acre farm which is higher in
the mountains , probably zone 3. I'm nervous about losing or not not
being able to grow certain cvs up there.
Have you had many once blooming TBs not survive in zone 3 ? AND if you
grow SA iris , have you noticed lack of appendages due to the cold.
Thanks
Chris Darlington
Plenty of snow here in Quebec
