Kathy, worried about her setosas, asked:
<< I know it is different than most of you deal with, but I thought several of
you might have had to deal with an iris going throught freeze/thaw cycles
when it wasn't ready.... My most important question, with my heart in my
mouth - have any of you had iris freeze while out of dormancy, and return to
the land of the living? >>
Yes, it is different than I have to deal with here in Zone 7 where it was a
clement 16 degrees last night, but yes, I have had pots of beardless irises
freeze solid after they had begun spring growth and yes, these irises were
setosas. Impossible to say what you will have to contend with come spring, but
you must not despair quite yet. Remember that they are very strong and capable
little irises.
