Louisiana Irises.....$5 rhizome....4 colours

Joan from Masterton District

I'm scaling down and decided to let go my Louisiana irises for $5 a rhizome.
I have 4 colours ( pictured). I have one white and some plum ones labelled but the others are not labelled.

I'm scaling down and decided to let go my Louisiana irises for $5 a rhizome.
I have 4 colours ( pictured). I have one white and some plum ones labelled but the others are not labelled.
Louisiana irises love wet ground but can tolerate drying out.
They have large side plate size flowers. Quite spectacular.

Ive put a photo of the plants laid out. They are perfectly fine out of the ground for a few days or so and transplant easily.

Very easy care.

Got a Nice Neighbour?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

We’re looking for the nicest neighbours in town, and Pam Driver of Burswood has shared her lovely neighbours, David and Lara Hurst, saying they “are just wonderful”.

We’re looking for the nicest neighbours in town, and Pam Driver of Burswood has shared her lovely neighbours, David and Lara Hurst, saying they “are just wonderful”.

This year, Pam had a missing cat, which was quite out of character. Driver let the Hursts know, and they joined the search, successfully locating him in the gap between the ceiling and roof of their neighbour’s house.

Pam said “They rescued him and brought him home to me... complete with some scratches! I hate to think what would have happened had he not been found”.

Pam nominated the Hursts to let them know she is thankful for them: “It’s so good to know I have such caring neighbours who have my back. Thank you neighbours!”

Nominate someone in your hood, and your special neighbour could feature on Stuff and Neighbourly as an inspiration to us all (plus there are prizes to be won!).

Name: Hebe Hulkeana ( A NZ nativew)
Hardy and doesn't mind drying out.
I've had one in a large concrete plant where it can fan out beautiful showing off its Gysolphilia like flower fronds about 15 years and its still doing well. ( I think it got its roots down through the hole in the pot into the ground though)
