One of the showiest of the Louisiana irises with large 4-6” deep velvety purple-black flowers and unmatched vigor. This is a reliable plant which thrives in well-watered gardens or naturally wet areas, but does not like its crowns submerged for long periods of time. Great for natural pond edges or rain gardens, it will not disappoint. Native to the southern US.  Bare Root

Size: 2 to 3 feet
Zone: 4 – 9
Light: Sun to partial shade
