Hi Jody Camille,
We have gardens 11 miles apart, one is zone 5, the other is zone 6. Slugs
get all types of irises, bearded and beardless. They are especially bad on
MDBs and cristatas, but are also occasionally seen on TBs, Siberians and
Japanese. They climb up to the blooms and bite off pieces of petals and chew
on the most tender parts of stems.
