Re: Re: TB: Frank Adams (was Jennifer Reb)

You (or anyone else within reason and stock allows) is welcome to some.  I could sell some real cheap next year or at least pay for shipping.  I'm not sure than many catalogs offer it anymore.  Winterberry Gardens did in 2005.

It isn't too terribly bothered by the leaf spot, the borers, or rot that I could tell, but if I have to treat all of the iris the same for both otherwise there is no chance of any disappearing.   It just keeps on increasing.

Thanks, Paul - sounds like one I need to try here.  Will put that one on
my wish list.  I think I remember that you treat for leaf spot and
insect related disease, so it might not do as well for me as for you,
but it's worth a try.

Do you sell?  I prefer getting rhizomes from a similar climate when I
can.

<I originally grew Frank Adams in Indiana, Zone 5 and it always did
well.  Always had nice foliage.  It had nice tall and strong stalks with
nice branching and has always bloomed.  It is vigorous as well.  I think
it has better foliage than Immortality as I grow it also.  It does not
go dormant in the Summer and is generally larger in stature.  It is more
green than blue-green while Immortality is blue-green.  It has behaved
quite the same here in Raleigh NC, Zone 7.  The standards on Frank Adams
are quite a bit more gold-tan than cream also.>
