Adam:
It does appear that several incorrect plants in the trade bear that
name...imagine that! Our plant is identical to the one pictured on the
SIGNA (species iris group) site.

Tony and Jane? So maybe one of you has a plant not true to name?
I find it hard to believe that cultural differences of soil water and
climate make THAT kind of difference.

Interesting the climatic differences. Our 20 year old clump of Iris
'Holden
Clough' is only 2' wide, growing in richly composted soils. We don't find
the flowers muddy at all, although I agree they aren't noticable from a
distance like a Japanese iris.

My understanding is that 'Holden Clough' has been proven to be hybrid
between I. pseudacorus and I. virginiana.
It is a vigorous spreader
Tell me about it!
I tore mine out five or so years ago and gave all the pieces away. Let
someone else deal with that thug. I can tolerate thuggishness in a garden
plant *if* the plant adds significantly to the garden scene, but 'Holden
Clough's flowers are of a very muddy color overall and hardly noticeable
from a distance.
