Notes

'Belgian Princess' iris (Iris 'Belgian Princess') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, containers, and cottage gardens. 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. The fragrant flowers attract butterflies and open in spring and again in summer. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. Plants reach about 35 to 47 inches tall.

Pairs well with Columbine, Album nettle-leaved mullein, and Mount Hood daffodil.
