Re: CULT: Zebra Nights

From: "Mike Sutton" <suttons@lightspeed.net>

Hi Sandy,
Interesting, we have ZEBRA NIGHTS in two spots in the garden.  One spot it
is highly variegated, even the bloom stalk was striking.  The other spot it
is hardly variegated and did not bloom.  Increase is somewhat poor in both
spots but I believe most variegated foliage iris are weaker growers.  I just
can't explain the difference in variegation, can anyone else?  Same soil,
both two year clumps and both in full sun.
Mike
