V. sez:
I have grown ROCK STAR for several years. It hasn't rebloomed for
me, but you have a much better chance due to your zone. Great iris!
Short, low to average bud count, but throws up LOTS of stalks each
year, is a rapid increaser, and hasn't had any rot problems. Everybody
who sees it wants it. LOVEBIRD is parent.
Friendship Gardens lists the following SA rebloomers:
CARIBBEAN AHOY (Zurbrigg 98)
CLASS ACT (Byers 88)
GILDED (Byers 89)
Good luck!!!
