Starting to flower in late January is the little-known, Iris tuberosa. This Mediterranean species hails from Southern France all the way to Turkey. It’s so unusual, that for decades it was put in an entirely different genus, Hermodactylus. It’s a rather easy plant to grow, thriving in dry conditions from full to light shade. Hardiness is Zone 7a-9b.

“thriving in dry conditions from full to light shade. ”
So full shade fine? If so, has this been grown next to Iris japonica ‘Eco Easter’?
