Hi Arnold,
Many years ago I grew quite a few spurias in my zone 5 garden, many of them
Ben Hager's varieties. However, I gave up on them because they were devoured
in winter by mice and in summer by iris borers. I find it hard to believe
Dave Niswonger's garden can be zone 5. He is south of St. Louis, which is
south of Cleveland and is next to the Mississippi River. His irises bloom
much earlier in the spring than ours.
