I don't remember it being true of Immortality. It may very well be true of certain lineages of rebloomers.

I have immortality and harvest memory and haven’t noticed flopping foliage.

Well, I have two reblooming Irises ordered and due to arrive later in the season...i will report back what my experience is whith them.

Although you both say Immortality stands erect, I'm becoming suspicious that dropping leaves may ber a charactoristic of some of the re-bloomers. Not a bad thing, just not expected to see the leaves like that when they usually stand tall...and maybe no cause for concern that the plant is unhappy?

Your mileage may vary.

Looking at your iris photo again and that is such a great color, it just glows!

Too funny Rosaprimula! Thank you for the laugh!

I never noticed my Immortality flopping. In Southern California, mine would bloom 4-5 times a year. Someone else noticed too and my rather large clump disappeared one year. In Ohio, I couldn't get it to bloom even once in 3 years, so I dug it up, plopped it on top of our terraces and promptly forgot about it, where it has bloomed every year since for the last 5 years.

IRe-blooming iris! I had no idea such a thing existed. Years ago, I inherited a large patch of blue, yellow and white bearded iris at my allotment. Perfect for the sunny, well-drained soil, but unfortunately, there was also a large clump of scarlet oriental poppies which refused to die, no matter how many attempts st digging them out. The colour combination was more than I could stomach so the iris, which had proved fleeting and a bit sordid looking, went to compost immortality.

That very short bloom cycle has worked against iris for me - I have one small patch of Siberians by the (ahem) 'pond'...which I often miss because they are being overgrown by an enormous red hazel.

But now, I am looking at ordering 5 reblooming iris (including Immortality for it's white purity) from Chailey Iris Garden (UK). I have been trying to establish xeriscape beds at the allotment. Not really certain how iris would fit with the foxtail lilies (eremurus), agave, baileya multiradiata, opuntia, californian poppies and ballota. Any ideas?

Pics of my Immortality below. However it doesn't rebloom here, or at least not much. The person who gave it to me may have had it rebloom once for her, if my memory is correct. However, when I talked to iris sellers in Colorado the say that rebloomers don't rebloom here so not to expect it.

We don't water them specifically so that may cause the leaves to droop. Once the lawn sprinklers are on they get a bit of over spray.
