Notes

'Anything Goes' iris (Iris 'Anything Goes') is a perennial for borders, cottage gardens, cut flowers, and containers. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy or loamy soil. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything. It blooms in early to late spring and again in early to late summer. Butterflies visit the flowers, and the plant tolerates drought.

Pairs well with Hardy geranium, Stonecrop, and White lace flower.
