After reading this sentence I decided to say that that very first
year I grew Japanese irises, 'August Emperor' was the first to
show early spring growth and then it simply died. I dug around
in the soil and found cutworms....I don't know if they were the
culprits or not so I held off writing. I thought A.E. had simply
succumbed to a late frost. But I suspected those critters.
I have seen cutworms in the soil of bearded (notice I didn't
forget the 'd' :)) irises as well later in the year with no
harm done so I am on the fence on this one.
