Notes
'Wedgwood' iris (Iris 'Wedgwood') 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 flowers have lobelia blue standards, flax blue falls, and a yellow blotch. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything. Lowe-Shawyer & van Waveren bred it.
Pairs well with Garden phlox, Fragrant Bouquet hosta, and Feather reed grass.
