Re: CULT: Irises in NWT?

 Hi Mark:
 Thanks for the info; For what every the reason may be
I had thought Irises would do well in shade, obviously
they woun`t. Come next summer my Irises will be
replanted into an area that will give them about 16
hours of sun each day from mid May to mid August. That
should keep them happy.
