Re: Neomerica

Hi Nan,

If this is neoamerica caeurula, I got it at San Marcos up in Santa Barbara, if I'm right its common name is walking iris for this reason (eventually those bend over and touch the ground & root) I haven't tried propogating this way, but it is a great/unusual blue with brown flower, great color combo--- mine is more like 4-5 feet tall though--maybe yours is in a better spot!

ck out the san marcos website for info --smgrowers.com-

I am growing a wonderful relative of iris called Neomerica - it is a very tall (7' so far) strappy plant with deep purple iris-like blooms on and off from spring through summer.

I have noticed that once the blooms are gone, the flowering stalks develop what look like plantlets at the tips. Are these really plantlets? And if so, can anyone tell me how to harvest and root them?

And if you've not tried this plant, I highly recommend it!
