to the Iris Forum!
There are some other members here that have similar growing conditions as yours. I am sure that they could share their garden experiences with you and give you excellent advice.
If I were growing my irises in a hotter climate, I would not leave the rhizomes so exposed to the extreme heat. Actually, one local iris garden buries her irises about one inch deep. Also, if you have a space that gets morning sun and afternoon shade, that might be helpful too. Do you have an irrigation system?
