Re:Survivors
I've tried some of the irises you listed as being good growers in TN.
Here's my experience in Tucson AZ:
AUNT MARY - grew poorly
BERNICE'S LEGACY Miller 1999 - Outstanding in Tucson, everblooming in some
gardens.
COFFEE WHISPERS Blyth 1999 - OK grower here, not especially vigorous.
GOLDEN PANTHER - Lost my first try, but the second has grown exceptionally
well - nice clump right now, great bloom last spring.
GRAPE SODA Annand 2000 - Outstanding performer in my garden, big vigorous,
floriferous clump.
HABIT Black 1999 - Poor performer here in the desert, although lots of
Black's things do well here.
MARIPOSA AUTUMN - Good grower & reblooms here
MATT MCNAMES Meek 2002 - Good grower & high impact bloom, nice because not
many dark irises do well here.
REVERE Ghio 2002 - Grows well here, wish the stalks were taller for me.
TOKATEE FALLS Schreiner 2000 - Hasn't been vigorous here.
TRUE SPIRIT Tasco 2004 - Another OK grower here.
