MISCELLANEOUS IRIS SPECIES 
This list includes many lovely Iris, some suitable for growing in shade under trees and others 
ideal subjects for the rockery. 
CULTURE: With exception of the western natives and some species of the Evansia section 
these iris will thrive under ordinary conditions. The Oregon natives enjoy a woodland soil 
and where hot dry summers prevail afternoon shade and additional moisture is advisable. 
Where zero temperatures occur without snow a winter mulch is necessary for these natives as 
well as |. japonica and |. stylosa. Species of the sibirica section including Chrysographes, 
delavayi, forresti and wilsoni are moisture lovers and will suffer from drouth. |. hyacinthiana 
is extremely hardy and drouth resistant and will thrive anywhere. 
SHIPMENT: Spring or Fall.
