Notes

'Concord Crush' Siberian iris (Iris sibirica 'Concord Crush') is a perennial for borders and low maintenance gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to wet soil of most types. It blooms in spring and again in summer, and it bridges the gap between spring and summer perennials. Its upright, strap-like leaves look good all season. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal.

Pairs well with Brookside crane's-bill, Lady's mantle, and Royal fern.
