Notes

'Immortality' iris (Iris 'Immortality') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, and cottage gardens. 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 tend to pass it by. Fragrant white flowers open in spring, summer, and autumn. Butterflies visit the blooms, and the plant tolerates drought.

Pairs well with Little Hottie panicle hydrangea, Eastern columbine, and Bridal Crown daffodil.
