Notes
'Golden Harvest' iris (Iris 'Golden Harvest') is a bulb for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and accents. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full sun and average to moist soil. The flowers are golden yellow shaded with orange, and the standards are lighter. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything. Blooms appear in early to late spring and again in early to late summer.
Pairs well with Japanese forest grass, Oakleaf hydrangea, and Gladiolus.
