Doreen , I had great success growing dormant rhizomes over the winter
indoors in pots in low light conditions . I shaved them and mixed bone
meal and sand in with a soiless potting mix and watched them rapidly
increase.
I'm currently growing Zebra in my kitchen because it was too late to
put into the garden when I got them in the mail a week or so ago. I
figure I'll get bloom if I get it out into the garden early enough next
spring. Enjoy , but keep your cats away , if you have any of those
furry monsters.
Chris , North of Montreal , where the irises seemed to be pleading with
me to cut back their fans due to high wind and freezing nights. They
seem happier now....
