To date the top 10 for beauty and solid performance year after year in MD zone 7A:
Medici Prince, a lovely dark red bitone with a touch of gold
Fogbound, an oldie, robust and a delicate lavender dark top, makes dark iris look good, Wister
Around the Sun, a 2016 floriferous yellow and white that's bright and cheerful from Mid America
Procrastinator, if you love true blue try it, and it's late blooming, from Winterberry Iris Gardens
Coal Seams, very dark, almost black, from Schreiners, and it combines nicely with my next choice
Conjuration, white with delicate violet bands, robust, eye-catching, Dykes Medal
Celebration Song, peachy pink/lavender bicolor that's tough as nails, Dykes Medal winner
Stairway to Heaven, a white/blue child of the fabulous Edith Wolford and Breakers, Dykes Medal
Magical, bubble ruffling & lovely, soft pink, utterly charming, a Ghio pink that thrives for me, Wister
Daughter of Stars big, purple luminata, reliably reblooms, Wister, no photo does justice Winterberry
My favorite reliable rebloomers (zone 7A)
Clarence, a happy white/blue that's still reblooming Dec 1st with nights below freezing
Harvest of Memories, you'll be giving away increases to everybody, ditto reblooming
Daughter of Stars, so big and beautiful, just get it
Feed Back, an indestructible purple rebloomer
Immortality, still lovely and pristine white
Midnight Pacific, such a fantastic and unusual shade of violet
Jennifer Rebecca, a pink and lavender blend that's a cyclical rebloomer for me
Corn Dance, yellow with a bit of white, very nice
Happy gardening!
