Thanks Kathy for your prompt answer and the info. Now I need to know
something else.
I'm really so dumb about all this. I've raised Tall Bearded for years but
due to the
place I live, (I guess)I don't do much to them except divide them every two
years and water them when the lawn gets watered. They are in a raised bed,
but ythat is by accident as I didn't know that was a good idea when I
planted them.
Somewhere I have gotten the idea that the Japanese Iris take a lot
of water and care. Is this so? It is very dry and very hot here. Also I
need plants that do not take a lot of care as I am disabled and can only do
so much. I would appreciate your sharing your knowledge with me. If I can
grow them, perhaps you could suggest 3 or 4 varieties to start with.
Thank you,
Norma
