Notes

'Jimmy G' iris (Iris 'Jimmy G') is a perennial with fragrant, silver white flowers. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun. The crinkled blooms have a hint of blue at the base of the standards and white beards tipped in pale yellow. Rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal. Divide the clumps every two to three years just after blooming.

Pairs well with Alexander Fleming peony, Campfire rose, Ageratum, and Little Beauty tulip.
