Jigme’s Question
I have two flower beds which receive full sun in Summer; but go to full shade in Winter. I planted iris last Summer, but now worry that I’ve made a mistake placing them there. Any suggestions for this weird situation? [Since the photo, I also planted about 150 Spring bulbs for naturalizing.] Thanks in advance for your help.

No worries, your iris are dormant in the winter so don\'t mind the shade. During the summer they crave heat and sunshine and that is when they will get full sun. I predict a beautiful border of blooms if not this year, than for sure next summer. Keep growing, Marianne Binetti
