Notes

'Stealing Home' iris (Iris 'Stealing Home') is a perennial for borders, containers, cottage gardens, and accents. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full sun and average to moist soil. Yellow flowers with a white throat open in early to late spring and again in early to late summer. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first. Once settled in, it also tolerates drought.

Pairs well with August Moon hosta, Angelique tulip, Limelight Prime panicle hydrangea, and Sensitive fern.
