The size is surprising- leaves up to 24 inches (61 cm) tall, and flower stalks up to 5 feet (1.5 m) - clearly the tallest thing in the garden. The location receives a small anount of shade, although iris love full sun.
The spring Plant Swap Brunch for the neighborhood took place on Saturday. My garden gave up some purple asters, white dragonflower, numerous calendula and green nicotiana seedlings (sprouting from last year's plants.) In return, a white-tipped hosta and white shasta daisy plants were received.
For The Record: Growing in heavy soil, mostly full sun, some shade Slow release organic granular fertilizer applied Somewhat taller flower stalks that expected Garden Calendar: Blooming: dutch & bearded iris, allium, columbine, perennial geranium Early tulip bulbs lifted |
