Irises: trouble with dutch irises, 1 by Rocco

This was my first try with Dutch irises. There are a few in my neighborhood and I have always admired them. The twenty that came up reached a height of eighteen to twenty inches. Our winter was a little more severe than normal but I don't think that is what the problem was. They were in full sun with excellent soil. I have an in ground sprinkler system that kept the yard well watered but not over watered. I may try planting a few this fall in another bed. The photo shows the 'old' iris bed ready to be planted with something new.
