| Left Bearded Iris I miss these we had lots of them in Kansas They do not do so well in the Coastal South thanks to our bugs, humidity and wet ground. This one is planted in a rocky dry area near the house |
| African Irises White Above and Yellow Below |
African Irises do great in the Coastal South and I
plant them in place of bushes in lots of areas.
Flowers are small but I love the evergreen foliage. I
love the flowers of the yellow but I have had constant
problems with white flies on the yellow. Not so with
the White and I now plant only White African Iris

| African Daises I bought this one on a "throw out rack" last year and it thrived. I planted more this year. They are perennial and take all the abuse that a South Alabama summer can throw at us. Heat, humidity, drought, bugs and torrents of rain this one keeps blooming and thriving. The freezes we had over the winter didn't seem to bother it either and I did nothing to protect it. Colors range from purple, pink to yellow but most I have seen are purple. It is turning into a nice ground cover under my "Knockout roses" Likes full sun. |
