Iris Virginica grows in ditches or wet woods by me They seem to
have no problem flowering in a cypress lake. My I.Virginca in the
garden I fertlize verry lightly in the fall with something like
10-10-10 or Holland bulb booste, in the spring about 6 weeks
before bloom I feed with a fertlllizer liquid with the middle
number bigger. If fertlilzed too much they just put out green
growth. Maybe some one who is a expert maybe able to tell you more.
I have a problem with I. versicolor not blooming or growing they just
sit there. I think they require more water then I.Va. I keep some
in pots that are in pans of water and the I.Versicolor do well that
way.
