Iris 'Tropic Night'
Does anyone on urg grow this iris? I bought it with guidelines to plant
out in a free-draining, moist soil in sun/partial shade. I have since read that it can be grown as a marginal or in a pot of water. Mine has doubled in size, but has a couple of concertina'd leaves which suggest it may be short of water. It is currently grown in full sun in much improved clay soil. I do water, but sparingly. If you have one, how do you grow it? Also, it has not flowered since I bought it and planted it last year. Googling for flowering times, I get a rather mixed message. Some articles suggest May/June, others suggest June/July. Comparing it with other irises I grow, there is no sign of bud build-up within the leafy growth. Usually I can tell about a month ahead if an iris is going to bloom. I would be most grateful for any advice. -- Spider from high ground in SE London gardening on clay |
