Louisiana Iris Black Gamecock

Louisiana Iris Black Gamecock's  dark purple flowers are accented with golden yellow, creating a dramatic, elegant look in the garden and cut-flower displays. Native to the wetlands of the southern U.S., Louisiana Iris are the ideal choice for water gardens, along the edge of streams or ponds, or in other moist areas. Its green, strappy foliage looks attractive for several months. Although they originated in the Southeast, Louisiana Iris are adaptable to several climates and most are hardy to zone 4. Unlike bearded iris, they prefer moist conditions and usually do best with about an inch of water each week. Louisiana Iris Black Gamecock blooms in June-July. Deer tend to pass it by.
