Iris fulva 'Lois' (Lois's Yellow Copper Iris)

Sun to Part SunZone: 6-9, at least 36" tall Origin: USA

Open House/Web-Only! This unique deer-resistant selection of the native Iris fulva was discovered in northeastern Arkansas's Crittenden County by native plant enthusiast Lois Wilson. Instead of the typically copper colored flower, Iris 'Lois' is adorned in early May (NC) with 3' tall stalks, topped with bright golden yellow flowers. All Iris fulva selections prefer rich moist soils for best growth. Thanks to Larry Lowman of Ridgecrest Nursery in Arkansas for naming and sharing this treasure. Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
