Louisiana Iris

Here is a short list of some of the Louisiana Iris we currently have for sale. They have been chosen for their hardiness and colour. They grow very well in most regions throughout Australia, from frosty southern regions to the Queensland tropics. A native of the North America bayous or swamps, they have adapted to an incredible range of soils and climates, needing only sun and ample water.

Louisiana Iris prefer acidic and well composted soils. Plant rhizomes about 5cm below the soil surface in well worked soil. Alkaline soils can be improved by adding sulphur. They can be grown in beds with annuals and other perennials, but are happiest in boggy settings that recall their native swamps and marshes. With their diversity of size, form, and spectacular color, they are suitable for almost any garden setting.
