'Dauntless' iris (Iris 'Dauntless') is a perennial for borders, cottage gardens, cut flowers, and accents. 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. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice. It grows 24 to 36 inches tall and blooms in spring and again in summer. Butterflies visit the flowers.
