Notes

'Professional' iris (Iris 'Professional') 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. It grows about 30 inches tall and bears violet-blue blooms in spring and summer. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal. Juno bred it.

Pairs well with Clary sage, Feather reed grass, and Casa Blanca lily.
