Louisiana Water Iris....organically grown....fresh dug from our fields.
Early in the last century adventuresome gardeners in Louisiana began collecting their native wild swamp
iris and adding them to their domestic plantings. The diversity of colors and structure had the botanist John
Small declare Louisiana 'the iris center of the universe'. While some experts claim hardiness into zone 6 several
varieties do well in zone 4 and even into Canada. Their awesome array of colors and strong foliage lends a hand
making a focal point in any garden where they are planted. Louisiana iris prefer rich organic soil on the acid side
and full sun. While they can thrive in water during the growing season it is suggested to have their roots in drier
ground during the winter months-avoid ice. If planted in typical garden soil make sure to administer ample water
each week., a minimum of 2 inches per week. Our rhizomes are #1 field grown plants. Louisiana iris are
shipped in the Fall only, this insures an adequate energy supply stored in the root system for
the winter. Quantities are limited, please reserve your plants early. Now accepting '08 orders.

or flower bed. This 1978 hybrid is an early to mid June bloomer in our zone 4
