The 2023 HIPS PBF Survey

Does your iris have Purple Basal Foliage? No? Yes? We need to know either way!

The 2023 spring bloom season is underway! The HIPS PBF Survey needs your help. The survey collects data from gardeners about whether or not their irises display purple-based foliage (PBF). Observation season is during spring bloom. Both HIPS members and non-members are encouraged to participate. Please visit the PCT Project webpage to see how the information is used
