Re: Slow Starters

Hi all.
 
Thank you Ellen for sending me details of the sibrob group and I look forward to getting to know you all in time. I'm a little shy :)
 
Hi Laurie,
 
Just a few comments form down under on your irises being slow to come away.  I am not familiar with VI LUIHN or CAMBRIDGE so can not pass comment on them but KING OF KINGS would have to be a favourite.
 
It is normally late in spring for its growth habits and the small green shoots just sit there and tease you. I put slug and snail bait around at this time as the small green tips are a smorgasbord to them when the shoots begin to move as soil and air temperatures warm up. Especially after warm spring rains.
 
KING OF KINGS is a great white, an outstanding SIB when in flower and makes a statement in a garden border looking great when planted in groups of 3 or five or more in a drift, if room permits. It has good strong sturdy flower stems and beautiful clean white petals which I find are very durable for its hardiness as it stands up the medium winds.
 
Cheers
 
Eddie
