Description
The Missouri Iris is native to western Canada & The US. They are very showy, with up to 4 flowers per stem, each measuring 3 - 4" wide. The flowers attract bees, butterflies, & HUMMINGBIRDS. This Iris will form colonies once it’s established. They prefer moist soil, especially up until they flower, & can grow in fairly average garden conditions, bogs, wet meadows, or streamside. They are deer & rabbit resistant, which is great because they make a great cut flower & you won’t have to fight with any critters to get them.
