Help - Iris vartanii
James Waddick (Sun, 10 May 2009 11:22:04 PDT)

Dear Friends,
Does anyone grow Iris vartanii?
This is an I. reticulata relative from Lebanon, Jordan etc. I
understand it puts up foliage and blooms as early as Dec. and
requires a mild Mediterranean climate to thrive.

How far north can it be grown- Diana can you grow it? Or Jane
or Paige ?

Is it only viable S. of San Francisco bay area?

Apreciate any guesses on grow-ability. Lee have you tried this?

Best and thanks. Jim W.
