There are 5 groups on Facebook that I am a member of that all love irises. I suggest you ask that question there. People have been kind to answer questions. I have a friend in Simi Valley CA where it gets hot early like St. George does and she says she grows a lot of iris that are E for Early bloom time so they come out before it gets too hot. I will look up her article and send a link.

Building new beds and planning on planting my favorites in larger groups. How to pick which iris will be the best growers, tallest with best blooms? After 2 years in the society hoping this springs blooms will show me who my super achievers are. Going to the AIS national convention last year really helped too. If only there were more articles like this! Thank you and your garden is just lovely.
