| So has anyone had Berlin Tiger in their garden? How did it do? What kind of companions do you have planted with it? Anything else I should know about it?
I ordered one from Veseys, so I'll be planting it this spring. They are related to the yellow flag iris, arn't they? So they are water lovers? |

| Hi Description from Tomas Tamberg "Iris pseudacorus hybrid BERLIN TIGER (Tamberg 1988) An attractive hybrid, grown from spontaneous seed of HOLDEN CLOUGH x ?; strong growing plants produce stems with wide branching and many buds; the flowers show a strong and dense line pattern on yellow, creating a warm golden-brown colour effect; healthy, dark green leaves; in contradiction to first assumptions the variety grows better on a garden bed with sufficient humidity than directly in water; fertile, but yields only Iris pseudacorus seedlings; Award of Garden Merit RHS 1995 I grow several Versicolor x pseudacorus hybrid seedlings and they grow well along side Siberian Irises but do not like to dry out.Very Strong plants. |

| I grow it. A very easy to grow iris, and yes they are related to yellow flag, and are water lovers. I think they are stunning. |

| pollyny, my garden has a lot of southern exposure - it gets kind of baked. Will berlin tiger bloom if I plant it in part shade instead, so that I can keep it's feet moist? Or would I be better off planting it in full sun, and just planting lots around it to shade the ground by it's roots and water it a lot? |
|
| What area are you in? In a southern state I would recommend a little shade. If you're in the north, full sun would be best, and keep it well watered. |

| If you would like I have a fact sheet on growing water loving irises. Email me through my website and I will email you a copy. My website is on my homepage. |

| I'm looking for this too as well as many of the species crosses that are in many colours. As well there are a group of Irises called Spuria that I'm looking for. The White w/ yellow and the all yellow forms are common here, I'm looking for modern hybrids in blues and other colours. |
