'Freckle Face' blackberry lily (Iris domestica 'Freckle Face') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, and cottage gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Orange flowers with red spots open from early to late summer.
