'Gold and Silver' iris (Iris 'Gold and Silver') is a bulb for borders, cut flowers, and cottage gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). Give it full sun and average to moist soil. The standards are creamy, and the falls are lemon yellow with an orange blotch. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by. It blooms in early to late spring and again in early to late summer.
Pairs well with Casa Blanca lily, Feather reed grass, and Japanese forest grass.
