next year ?" I live in Michigan and expect a harsh winter. Thank-you. >>
It sounds to me like you did it right last year. Most Iris types will
be hardy in Michigan, and in fact, some require the cold winters. I used to
live in KY, but now live in Florida, so I am hoping that someone else in
Michigan or northern Ohio can give additional tips.
Thinking Irises, I have a rebloom scape on WINESAP, and a very southern
plant called Tiger Eye Iris is still blooming some.
