Rebloomers that were created,grown and sold in similar climates are the best.
Zurbriggs iris do well for us. I agree with jreeds that Monty Byers iris are
vigorous and very hardy.Hagers and Lauers are from just down the street so
they do well. Suttons have a lot of rebloomers and are rated by zone in their
catalog. I would recommend you stay away from early bloomers for your
weather. Double Shot is an outstanding and multi-blooming iris but started
blooming in early March here. A tad bit early for you maybe...
Uh.. Multi bloomer is what I call my iris that bloom more than twice a year.
