Notes
'Lemon Beauty' iris (Iris 'Lemon Beauty') 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 have ivory white standards with a small pale yellow vein, and the falls are primrose yellow with a canary yellow blotch and white edges. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice. The yellow blooms open in early to late spring and again in early to late summer.
Pairs well with Munstead lavender, Feather reed grass, and Green and gold.
