When I got my three initial plants from Phil Cook, there were no
names attached. They may be named or not. I hope that the white
flowering Iris cristata does well for you Laurie in MN. It is
white with orange crests and is lovely. I think the blue has
gone from here but the purple is still growing but no flowers
this year. Certainly, I agree with Robert that the hardiness of
a certain flower is dependent on various factors. Color may or
may not be indicative of anything (except natural selection?)
but in my garden, the white is extemely hardy and vigorous.
