Plant profile Iris Pinewood Sunshine

 

 Pacific Coast Iris

Pinewood Sunshine




Fine flowers,  broad falls, yellow with red veining. Does not seem to like my conditions as the leaves are chlorotic and the whole plant seem constantly to be on the point of dying, but it revives in time to flower, and continues for another year. 

This year (2023) I dug up the whole plant, moved it to better soil and potted some of the stronger bits in ericaceous compost. we will see if any survive. TBC.

Bred in England in 1994 by R A Wise, has an american hybrid in it's parentage which may account for it being a bit fussy.
