Notes
'White Giant' iris (Iris 'White Giant') 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 large white flowers have a narrow yellow blotch on the flag and cream tones on the bridge. It blooms in spring and again in summer. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal.
Pairs well with Feather reed grass, Japanese forest grass, and Bloodgood Japanese maple.
