Notes
'Mirage' iris (Iris 'Mirage') is a bulb for borders, cut flowers, containers, and cottage gardens. 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 violet-blue blooms open in early to late spring and again in early to late summer. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by. Maveridge International B.V. bred it.
Pairs well with Feather reed grass, Japanese forest grass, and Ornamental onion.
