Hemlady said:I can see from its first year bloom here that Beverly Sills is probably going to be a poor performer, certainly compared to my others that are blooming. The flower was only about 12" above the ground.
Cindy, I grew that iris for only two years: It did nothing during that time. There was a lot of hype at that time, "Oh how wonderful" about it, so I had to try it. I promptly gave it away to someone who "had to have it".
Irises are (to me) like people; they're all different. What works for one does not work for another. And I'm sure what works in California might not necessarily work in New York. It is (for me) location, location, location: North to South, East to West. Others will I am sure have a different take!
