Description
(41" tall x 12-24" wide) 'Better Than Butter' Bearded Iris is noted for its fragrance and beauty. Snow white standards trimmed in yellow highlight the lemon-yellow petals below. Plant it where you can enjoy the fragrance, along a path, near an entrance or deck, or in a perennial bed where its height stands out. It harmonizes nicely with Peonies, Salvia, Delphinium, and other Bearded Irises. Plant in a sunny location in enriched garden soil with good drainage slightly above soil level. Water as needed to keep the soil moist as the plant gets established. Once established this is a drought-tolerant, deer and rabbit resistant perennial that will naturalize over the years with ever-increasing flowers.
