Ian, Jan, Heather, and all,
My statement about the summer heat was about the conditions in the
areas in which the Louisiana Iris species grow. I know they would grow in
areas with less heat, but I did not know the range of them in terms of cool
summers. I know they can take brutal cold to some extent in the winter.
Now that I know they are grown in Tasmania and England (cool summer
climates), I would consider them to be well worth trying in Denmark. Go
for it Jan!! As for cold hardiness, when I lived in Kentucky, I had
Louisianas to survive temperatures into the -30's C in the frost patch
where I lived.
