Notes

'Roma' iris (Iris 'Roma') 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 blue-violet flowers open in early to late spring and again in early to late summer. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. I.V.T. bred it.

Pairs well with Munstead lavender, Feather reed grass, and Oakleaf hydrangea.
