Notes
'Cocoa Pink' iris (Iris 'Cocoa Pink') 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 soil. Pink flowers open in early to late spring and again in early to late summer. It grows 6 to 12 inches tall and wide, so you can tuck it near the front of a bed. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything.
Pairs well with Ice Follies daffodil, Patriot hosta, and Miss Kim lilac.
