They will get bud set temperatures, but not vernalization temperatures. Need both.

When I moved to Central Florida (100 mi. south of Jacksonville) I brought 100 or so bearded irises with me. The following year I had 50% bloom. The 
year after that 1%  then they were gone. They really do need to have a
winter to trigger the following years bloom. Where I am we get a week or
two that gets down to 35 deg F. It's just not enough.

plant need for blooming.

Is anyone else looking for help growing irises in south Florida? I 
would
love to talk with you about my experiences with bearded irises. I 
planted
them early this year and while they produced leave there were no 
flowers.

Does it take a year or more before that happens?
Let me know from anyone in zone 9 or 10. That's my zone
