Re: Digest Number 512

Marty,

What USDA zone are you in?  I do not have any reblooming Sibs. but I am
interested in them.  I am in USDA zone 5 with summer temps as high as 100*F and
winter as low as 8*F with sandy soil which tends to be alkaline.  First killing
frost can come as early as the first week in September.  I live in the foothills
of the Cascade range.  Rainfall is generally non existent for about two months of
summer.  Generally TB iris do not rebloom for me here.  Would I be able to expect
any rebloom on the rebloomers you mentioned?
Patti Wenham.
USDA zone 5,  Eastern Cascade foothills.
