Interesting Facts

Most common garden iris.  Tough and easy to grow.  Leaves remain green year-round.  More sun equals more flowers, although plant will do ok in a partly shaded area.  Remove spent flowers after spring is over, including stems and any dead foliage to keep plant looking nice through the fall and winter.
