Re: What can I plant with iris?

I have put :  Sedum acre,  forget me nots, annual phlox and annual poppies
all with pretty good success.      I have mixed beds of iris with daylilly.
 This looks good but I am afraid to water them much  or fertilize.  The iris
dont like the water or fertilizer the daylillys
deserve.  These mixed beds took a beating before I realized what I was doing.
 The result was soft rot and leafspot. Now days I try to mix the iris with
perenials that can take extreme water stress.  The iris seem to do fine.
 When the daylillys  really need a drink of water bad, Ill give them a
little.      I am really not cruel to my plants,  Its that I have well water
here thats really cold .  The daylillys dont like a massive temp difference
when watering.


                      Whatever I am doing seems to be oK .  I still have ll
the daylillys and most of  the Iris.
