Tradition never goes out of style

Name: Spuria iris (Iris cvs.)
Zone: 6 to 9
Size: 3 to 5 feet tall and 2 feet wide
Shade Tolerance: Full sun to partial shade


Spuria iris, forgotten survivor of many traditional gardens, is tough enough to grow
in full sun or partial shade. In early spring, its graceful grasslike foliage is crowed with
jewel-toned flowers. The foliage goes dormant in summer heat if the soil becomes too
dry and then reemerges during the cooler tempertures of fall.
