Summer Storm Japanese iris

Garden uses

Notes

'Summer Storm' Japanese iris (Iris ensata 'Summer Storm') is grown for borders, cut flowers, and rain gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full sun and wet soil. A low spot where rain collects suits it well. Deer usually look elsewhere for a meal. It blooms from early to late summer, so you can cut stems for bouquets.

Pairs well with Sweet flag, Kopper King aloalo, Overdam feather reed grass, and Seedbox.
