Notes
'Rosario' iris (Iris 'Rosario') 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 flowers have bronze-yellow falls with a buttercup yellow blotch. P.J. Nijssen & Sons bred it. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by.
Pairs well with Munstead lavender, Feather reed grass, and Black Baccara rose.
