Butter and Sugar was hybridized on an island in
Harpswell
Maine in close proximity to the open ocean. I don't think
freeze and thaw would bother it. however
the lack of moisture
in the air might. My main garden is also in Harpswell close to
salt water and I also have some irises approximately ten
miles
away. It has been very noticeable that some irises
do much
better in the different locations. I have Butter and sugar
only
in my main garden in Harpswell. It is slow to start and is not
as
vigorous as some of the other siberians around it. I would
rate
it as a fair grower. I have digital photos of the blossom if
you
would like to see it.
