Yellow Iris Suggestions

10 years ago

Through neglect, etc. I have lost my yellow "Kentucky Derby" Iris. It was one of my favorites, even tho it's been around for a good while. I'm probably going to get another "KD," but I was wondering if there are some great performing yellows that you think I might want to consider as well.

Thanks.

I'm smitten with "That's All Folks" but I don't grow it, so I can't vouch for its performance. My best performer is "Total Recall" but it's a rebloomer and not suited for every climate.
I'll be interested to hear what people's favorite yellows are.

'Dawning' (ghio'94) is nice but a warmer (?) shade of yellow.

'Well Endowed' (ghio'78) is a large-flowered, med. yellow pretty one. Listed as a rebloomer.

A cheerful bright rimmer is 'Joyce Terry'.

I think a good yellow is hard to find. Have heard good comments on 'Kentucky Derby'.

Hello,
I'm growing "Beauty Becomes Her" for the first time this spring, and all I can say is wow! It's stunning... It's a recent introduction by Mid-America, Paul Black hybridizer.
