Notes
'The Great Mogul' Japanese iris (Iris ensata 'The Great Mogul') is a perennial 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. It blooms from early to late summer. Deer tend to browse other plants first. Its wet soil habit makes it a good pick for a rain garden.
Pairs well with Kopper King aloalo, Overdam feather reed grass, and Jim Dandy winterberry.
