Notes

'Blueberry Bliss' iris (Iris 'Blueberry Bliss') 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. It blooms in spring and again in summer, and butterflies visit the flowers. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. Stems reach about 35 to 47 inches tall, so place it where you can enjoy the height.

Pairs well with Columbine, China Town tulip, Ernest Markham clematis, and August Moon hosta.
