Schreiner's used to carry it I think, but don't believe they still
do--check one of their older catalogs. However, I must warn you that
for us it (Chinese Empress) was a very touchy grower and we finally just
gave up on it. Maybe it did better in a colder climate than ours??
Anyone else out there who grew it and has comments??
Rick Tasco
Central California Sierra Nevada foothills--Zone 8
Superstition Iris Gardens--where our SDBs are about 7-10 days ahead of
schedule and will peak probably next week. Also have quite a few IBs
and ABs opening daily. And we don't open to the public for another 7
days!!
