JAPANESE IRIS - Graceful large flowers on tall sturdy stems.
Their foliage is very
attractive in the garden landscape. Especially beautiful when
associated with
water. Grows well in a heavy, acid garden soil or along the bank
of a pond. Lime
is fatal to them. The last to bloom in the garden. Here these
elegant garden
delights start blooming the end of May and go to mid-July. As we
have been unble to keep up with demand, we are holding back many of
our cultivars for increase, especially Dr. Ackerman's introductions.
They will return to the listing as soon as possible.
