Iris x louisiana 'Handmaiden' (Handmaiden Louisiana Iris)

Sun to Part SunZone: 6-10, at least 24" tall Origin: USA Hybrid

Open House/Web-Only! (J. Ghio 81) This stunning and easy-to-grow Louisiana iris hybrid has been the rage in our garden for the last few years at our Spring Open House, so we finally got around to potting a few. The deer-resistant, evergreen, sword-like foliage is topped in early May with cinnamon reddish-brown flowers with bright yellow centers. I know the color sounds hard to believe, but this hybrid is incredible. For best results, Louisiana iris should be planted in a bog or in evenly moist garden soil. In 3 years, expect a 3' wide clump. Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
