Hi! Chris,
I have one Dwarf Iris and 8 Bearded Iris. I
have been lucky enough to not have Iris Borers. I am extremely interested
in the Space Age Irises.
I also grow and hybridize Daylilies (550
cultivars). What Irises I have do grow next to some of my daylilies and
look good with them.
What cultivars would you suggest, that will grow in
my Zone 5 ?

Hi Suzanne,
It's been quiet here for a long time but if
you're interested in growing unusual stuff, this is technically the right
place if we can get some of the experts to come out of the woodwork
;-)
If you like Space Age Irises, we can probably
suggest a few reliable cultivars that bloom with all of their appendages in
colder climates. (Many of them do not) Mesmerizer is a great one for me
here in zone 4. A very cool Space age arilbred I have growing here and
love is called Kalifa's Horn. It's a mixture of genes from Aril, TB
with dominant SA genes in a broken color plant.
I use a general purpose 15-15-15 for my stuff,
works well. Bone meal also works well.
Do you have borers?
Chris

Iris
Hi! everyone,
I am looking forward to learning more about
growing the unusual forms of Iris and Iris in general.
I would like to know when to divide and what
type of fertilizer they like.
What types will grow here in Belfast, ME (a
Zone 5).
Thanks,
