I felt sorry for the iris they had at walmart and got a few. Here is a list of what I got.
Does anyone one the list grow or have grown any of these on the list and how big a sucess were they?
Batik, Champagne Elegance, Chickasaw Sue, Colortart, Dover Beach,
Earl of Essex, Full Tide, Gay Parasol, Immortality, Persian Berry,
Prissy Miss, and Supertition.
Susan Coffin, Logansport Indiana
Susan:
Lots of tried and trues there, assuming they weren't mislabeled.
BATIK: Pretty, different, inconsistent (can be excellent one year then die out the next).
CHAMPAGNE ELEGANCE: Slow grower but not sickly, some rebloom.
CHICKASAW SUE: I don't grow it, but it does very well for some friends.
COLORTART: Died for me / never bloomed, pretty in Oregon (at Cooleys).
DOVER BEACH: Died out, poor substance.
EARL OF ESSEX: Good reputation as rebloomer, one 10-inch stalk then died out
FULL TIDE: From my early iris days, it got crowded out by better growers.
GAY PARASOL: Pretty, I eventuallyt lost it.
IMMORTALITY: Good reputation as everbloomer, it never caught my attention.
PERSIAN BERRY: Excellent, dependable, just leave it alone and let it bloom.
PRISSY MISS: Don't know it.
SUPERSTITION: Older dark iris, eventually died (probably neglect).
