Description

As dark as night, this ebony iris is also a vigorous grower with a slight, musky fragrance that discourages hungry deer. A splendid addition to any mixed border display that receives full sun or partial shade. Put some in a vase with white irises for a stunning look.

Plant these blue-themed beauties together to create a refreshing iris oasis, or pair them with yellow, orange or all-white varieties.
