Notes

'Let Evening Come' iris (Iris 'Let Evening Come') is a perennial for borders and cottage gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun. Large, ruffled, fragrant flowers open in early to late spring. Rabbits rarely make it their first choice. Divide the clumps every two to three years just after blooming.

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