Notes
'June Krauss' iris (Iris 'June Krauss') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and containers. 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. It grows 24 to 36 inches tall and blooms in spring and again in summer. Butterflies visit the flowers, and the plant tolerates drought. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first.
