Care Instructions
Best grown in well-drained, neutral to slightly acid loam but will tolerate most soils in full sun, partial shade or shade. The 'Gladwyn iris' is a useful subject for dry shade but also thrives in moister conditions. The attractive open seed pods and the evergreen leaves make this a great plant for late autumn and winter interest in the garden.
Ingestion may cause severe discomfort.
