NATIVE LOUISIANA IRIS 
~ De 
Cultural Requirements: 
The native irises of Louisiana have more healthful and vigorous growth 
in acid, rich loamy soils. They respond to plenty of water during the grow- 
ing season and thrive in bogs where they get semi-shade, water, and organic 
matter. The irises are very adaptable and will grow over a great portion of 
the country. Temperatures below 10° F. may be detrimental for the rhizomes 
are planted very shallow with only a few inches of soil humus covering them. 
The best months for moving the irises in Louisiana are September, October, and 
November, although they may be moved short distances at any time, The iris 
should be soaked in a solution of Destruxol Lawn-A-Gen before shipping or 
planting.
