Re: TB: REB: Byers Irises.

Mark ,

I'm not in the South East but I kept ISTANBUL in a 2L cut off plastic
coke bottle indoors over the winter on a window ledge in the dining room
where it was never exposed to temps less than 60F.  It managed to bloom
very nicely in July after being planted out in the garden in the Spring.
I'd guess that you'd have absolutely no problem getting it to bloom for
you in a pot.  ISTANBUL is one of those irises that I had to stare at on
and off for two weeks before I decided that I really liked it. Good Luck
