I am thinking of buying this iris, have you gotten it yet. I live in Tacoma and would love to here how its doing?

WOW!!!!!!!

that is so pretty.!!

Sue, you don't have that blooming yet do you???....if so I may be dropping by unannounced (middle of the might) with my shovel LOL

LOL Rikerbear, no I don't even have this one 'yet'. I'll be ordering some for sure! I wanted to share that photo with my gardening friends. Love the Louisiana Iris!

Oh okay....but be fore warned my shovel is in the trunk of the car. LOL
Thanks for sharing the pic....just gorgeous. It would look stunning next to my other LI, my Black Gamecock

I agree! I love it!
I don't know if I can grow these, do they have to be constantly moist????

I'm no expert, as I only have the one LI so far....but it does great in my bog area as well as in one of my smaller ponds. I'd say that means they like/tollerate moisture pretty well.
I'm sure an actual iris expert will be by in no time to answer that better for you (us) :-)

Louisiana iris species, being native to swamps, bogs and low areas, are generally happy in standing water. But they do fine in normal flower beds so long as they don't dry out. They just need to be watered during dry spells. But the more water the better.
