I have tried all kinds of iris here - another waste of money. Louisiana Iris grow and flower, but, the flowers only last a couple days. They are a lot of work for only 4-5 days of blooming.

All the 'Dutch blubs' are poor performers in my climate. Most folks have land to the west of them and you get cool weather in the fall - I have water to the west my location. The Gulf doesn't cool off until the first of the new year. We have nights in the 50's & 60's until Jan. - too warm for most bulbs (because the soil stays warm too).

We grow many plants in the winter here that most folks think of as summer plants - tomato, peppers, corn, zinnia, marigolds etc.

I did see some dandy bulbs when I went to Europe back in 1988>
