Notes
'Louisa's Song' iris (Iris 'Louisa's Song') is a perennial for borders and containers. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full sun, average moisture, and sandy or loamy soil. The fragrant flowers open in early to late spring and again in early to late summer, and butterflies visit them. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal. Tall stems reach 35 to 47 inches.
Pairs well with Columbine, White lace flower, and Pincushion flower.
