Serves me right: I neglected checking the iris-talk for a couple of
days, and was just about to order daylilies to interplant in my new
iris bed, and lo, some have advised against.
The bed in question lines a drive, creating a heavy wind channel. To
create bloom once the irises are through, I interplanted with seed-
raised perennials as I usually do: shasta daisies, snapdragons,
etc. But every time the wind plowed through, the little peat pots
got dried up and blew away. So I planted small nursery plants of
annuals -- petunias, impatiens -- same result.
So I'm thinking, daylilies are tough like irises, and begin to bloom
once the irises are finished, lasting most of the rest of the
season. They'll be able to hang on through the windy times. Then
iris-talkers say they're invasive, will take over my beloved irises,
the whole reason for the bed? Help!
Any others have experience with daylilies and irises cohabiting?
