Several years ago, I attributed my first year's success to the rhizome being 
a transplant from CA (Monty Byer's garden), but it WAS on a raised row that 
dried out quickly.  She was close to a tree where she got early morning sun 
until about 11:00 A. M., then shade.  

I bought it here (98) and put it in a 15-17inch pot.  It was bought late, the 
only W-Mart iris that bloomed true, and the pot was the only available space. 
 Again it's on the East side of the house and gets only morning sun. It grew 
and bloomed well the first year and has tanked ever since.  I'm back to three 
rhizomes, each smaller than the one I started with in the fall of 98.  

I'd about decided it liked the drainage & shade but needed to be moved to new 
soil each year.
