Edith Wolford seems to be getting a lot of bad press so I thought I should
relate our experience with it.
It grows very well for us, probably above average in vigor among the TBs as
a group. We have a no questions asked replacement policy with our customers
and I can't recall an instance of being asked to send a replacement for
Edith Wolford.
It certainly seems cold hardy as we sent it along with about 50 other TBs to
test gardens in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan(zone 2-3) several years ago and it
is still growing and blooming. Saskatoon must be near the Northern limits
for growing bearded iris. If the temperature rises above -40 in January,
they call it a heat wave. In addition they have a very short growing season.
Perhaps despite it's California beginnings it is a cold lover.

Vernon, BC Today - about at the freezing point and snowing lightly.
No irises but the trees are draped in snow and it is
a winter wonderland.
