and others post that they suspect compost as a culprit.
Of course, I'm positive it's those late winter, early spring freezes and
high humidity/rainfall that so many modern cultivars just aren't exposed
to till they leave home...compost 'shouldn't' be a problem unless it
affects (worsens) drainage.
Swapping irises with listers has been an interesting experience - ones
that are 'the best' here don't necessarily do well in other climes &
soils and vice versa.

most intros do around here, sterile medium or not.
