JAP: CULT: height

Has anyone experienced stunting of Japanese irises as a result of repeated
freezes during lush spring growth?  The few that managed to bloom (new last
year, planted in new to irises, presumably acid (everything is unless limed)
clay, saturated in winter, and staying alternately soggy or moist thru the
spring) are on little 12 inch stalks.  Same thing happened to the one
Siberian that bloomed (SHAKER'S PRAYER, 6 to 8 inches tall).  Or is this
possibly a combination of nutrients and the repeated freezes?  They don't
look like they feel very good.  The clump of 'wild type' siberians about 5 ft
away looks super healthy and vigorous and bloomed normally - they loved the
cool wet weather (should be plenty of seeds this year).
