Your cold-hardy dutch iris varieties?

13 years ago

Hi all :) I would like to know the names of any specific dutch iris cultivars you or someone you know is successfully growing in zone 6 or colder. Or if you know of a resource which lists the cold hardiness for different dutch irises, that would be great too.
