Notes
'Caprician Butterfly' Japanese iris (Iris ensata 'Caprician Butterfly') is a plant for borders, cut flowers, and rain gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full sun and wet soil. It blooms from early to late summer. Deer tend to pass it by. The long bloom season gives you many flowers to cut for indoor vases.
Pairs well with Red October big bluestem, Kopper King aloalo, and Overdam feather reed grass.
