Hi, I have a wonderful bearded Iris called 'Victoria Falls'. It think it was introduced 25-30 years ago. I grew it before in Alabama, and enjoyed it because of the color, the rebloom, and the ease of care. It took care of itself--never seeming to need water and only a top dressing with aged manure once or twice a year. Here in Conroe, zone 9a, it has been in the ground for about 2 years in full sun, in good-draining not-too-rich soil. It hardly blooms and does not rebloom. It grows well, and seems happy enough, except for July and August when it seems to sulk (I suspect it is heat). So, what can I do to make this plant do better? I have a few other reblooming bearded Iris hybrids, and they almost never bloom. They grow OK, but don't bloom. Do they need a colder winter? The past 2 years temperatures have only dropped to 25 F. Cordially, Conroe Joe (95 F today, sunny, but thunderstorms elsewhere in the county)
