Arnold,
Glad you asked that question re the heights of all classes of
irises that are printed in the check lists. I assume the
hybridizer submits the data? Is that correct?
I have most of my Siberians measuring *taller* than the reported
height....I am in Zone 3. This is after the clump is
well-established usually after 3 years. I also have bearded irises
surpassing the registered heights and a good number are shorter.
Do these heights mean anything?
