Notes
'Symphony' iris (Iris 'Symphony') 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. Flowers open in early to late spring and early to late summer, with ivory standards veined in yellow and canary yellow falls. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal. P. Nijssen & Sons bred it.
Pairs well with Japanese forest grass, Feather reed grass, Avens, and Ornamental onion.
