Like a work of art, Katharine Hodgkin Dwarf Iris brightens the garden with fine sky-blue brushstrokes and a splash of bright yellow. Blooming early spring the sweet violet-like fragrance tells us that warmer weather is on the way. These easy-to-grow and hardy flowers are not to be missed! (Iris histroides)
To determine if a plant is sufficiently cold hardy, the USDA created numbered zones indicating winter low
temperatures; the lower the zone number the colder the winter.
If the coldest winter temperature expected in your area is -15°F (zone 5) then any plants rated zones 3-5 will
survive the winter temperatures in your area.
If you live in very warm winter areas (zones 9-11) plants with zones 3-4 ratings are not recommended. The lack
of freezing winter temperatures do not provide a time for winter dormancy (rest).
5" tall x 2" wide. Katharine Hodgkin Dwarf Iris
brightens the late winter to early spring garden with delicate blue flowers.
Plant these low-growing blooms in a sunny to part-shade location along a
woodland edge, in a rock garden, along the edge of a path, or in a container
where you can enjoy the artistic details up close. Katharine Hodgkin is lovely
planted with other dwarf iris and snow crocus. Plant in groups of at least 20
bulbs for best results. Not fussy, plant 4" deep and 3" apart in
average well-drained soil. Keep the soil relatively dry during summer.The grass-like foliage will continue to grow
as the flower fades but will disappear by late spring as the bulb goes dormant.
Drought-tolerant, and deer-and-squirrel-resistant too.
