Any type/color.
CLOSED: Wanted: Louisiana Iris
How many you want - can pull some extras that are growing strong. Color is unknown due to recent division. Yellow, maroon or purples.
Picture below is second year undivided
This size is what I would be sending you.
Hi,
I will happily trade for whatever you have to spare. Color doesn't matter. I just found out I can grown them here as I got a purple one in a trade and it just started blooming.
Uprooting these this late may defer blooming till next year. They are nice plants. They start to drop the fronds/leaves in the fall, but do not freeze here in Dallas.
I've learned to cut the tops off when you start to seen new growth in Nov or Dec. All new growth comes out on new rhizomes.
I can send you a half dozen or a dozen. I'll take some corkscrew vine and some of those Pink Brug cuttings.
Chuck
Sounds good.
I have Louisiana irises Charlottes Tutu, Black Gamecock and Winter Encore that I can trade. I am interested in your Corkscrew Vine, Ginger Lily Dr. Moy and Black Velvet Taro.
Shirley
OK now you have me confused. My DW got a Black Gamecock last fall from someone locally with the understanding it would survive our winters. It has yet to show up so far. Are we zone denied for them?
Doug
Doug, You are a zone 6 as I am, mine comes back every year. You should plant them early enough to get good root systems on them for winter. What month did you plant them in the fall? I know they say to plant bearded irises in July and I would say the LA's should be planted no later than Sept. I also like to mulch my first year plants here until they get climatized.
Shirley
Shirley, I'd say it was Sep or Oct when she planted it. Thanks.
