This Iris was first described in March, 2018. Here is the original description link: https://web.archive.org/web/20... Scroll down to page 22.

This is a unique Reticulata type Iris in that it reproduces via seeds and bulbs forming at the end of Stolons. Very rarely it will produce daughter bulbs without stolons. (personal communication with Alan McMurtrie)

Seems to me this species listing should properly reflect all forms of it:
clausa var. clausa
clausa var. normalis
clausa var. stolonifera
All three are in cultivation with the most common one being var. clausa.

According to Gentry, var eborispina has terminal spines between 10-20 cm long. Plants with terminal spines shorter than this are probably nevadensis or simply utahensis ssp.

Coral Sunset is fantastic, nothing like I have ever seen in peonies. After a severe cold winter in which I had to cover the plant several times because it starts growing earlier than other peonies Coral Sunset is beautiful and it has spread so much in just a few years that it makes an impressive clump, if only it could bloom all summer, sigh.

I am going to try overwintering a few artichokes this year using the basket method and using a waterproof tarp. That may be the key addition:
Zones 6 to 7: After the last harvest, cut the plants down to 12 to 18 inches. Cover with organic mulch: leaves, straw, compost, and then cover the pile with a large basket. Mound more leaves and straw over the basket and cover everything with a waterproof tarp.

A. decorum is a variable species. The diameter of the rosette can range from 1.5 to 4 inches. Colors can be variable from clone to clone, and depending on sun exposure. Plants grown in the shade are usually a dark green color, but in full sun they can range from a reddish orange to bronze color. This plant is commonly confused with two of its close relatives, A. haworthii and A. leucoblepharum.
It is known to form hybrids with A. canariense and A. castello-paive.
