My iris are past their peak--last week was the height of their season. They spread every year, but last fall I didn't thin them, it was so dry and the soil was too hard to work in. So I'll thin later this spring and give a few to folks they're promised to and maybe start another bed or two. They're tough, drought tolerant, heat tolerant, and they have nice looking leaves even when they're not blooming. What more can a xeriscape gardener ask for?
