lavender Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 These were blooming up until the snowfall. I took the pictures just before it snowed. They bloom both spring and fall and are both very reliable bloomers. The withstand a frost and the buds will still open even if the opened flowers are nipped. A bad freeze does ruin them. Autumn Tryst was full of buds before it snowed. It blooms a bit later than Immortality in the fall. The white one is Immortality and the other is Autumn Tryst.

Pappy Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 kind of a hard choice if you had to pick between the two but I do like the autumn twist just a tad bit more and the immortality is nice also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lavender Posted November 29, 2016 Author Share Posted November 29, 2016 Immortality is the least problematic of the two. It always blooms and seems to be immune to iris borers. I almost lost Autumn Tryst to the borers a few years ago but it has come back. Time to divide it again. If I don't keep moving them the borers seem to invade. I've got a yellow one that is so temperamental that it only set buds once in the fall, never in the spring, and the cold got the buds before it bloomed. Frustrating.
