This form of the iris is said to be one of the easiest to grow. Itprefers damp but well drained soil. They like full sunlight but can do well in part sunlight if they get at least a few hours of sun. Ideal spots are near ponds, streams or boggy areas. Blooms begin to appear in late spring and continue through early summer. They are hardy flowers that are deer resistant. They are also not aggressive growers and are non-invasive.
