Hi Sandra-
Thought I would tell you about MY FRIEND JONATHON, a red rebloomer.
It gave me 14 increases on each of two rhizomes in it's first year of
growth. I've never had an iris increase that much!! It was however
a spotty bloomer- one bloomed spring, the other in the fall, and then
the first tried again in january and froze out, and nothing since.
It got dug, divided and moved this year so I hope to see how it
performs over the next few years as it is left alone to become a
clump.

Cool and cloudy and loving it!
