Notes

'Lucky' iris (Iris 'Lucky') is a perennial for borders, pathways, and rock gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to average soil. The flowers have white standards and falls edged in lavender, with white and blue beards, and they carry a light musky fragrance. Rabbits rarely make it their first choice. Divide the clumps every two to three years, just after blooming.

Pairs well with Nepeta, Blonde Ambition blue grama, and Carlton daffodil.
