LOUISIANA IRIS 
Despite the fact that these bewitching iris come from the southern United States they have proved surprisingly hardy 
throughout the country including the Northern states and Southern Canada. Since the discovery of great numbers of new 
plants in Louisiana the popularity of this group has gained much impetus. The amazing color range includes vivid reds 
and blues, bright yellows, coppers and pinks as well as white and richest purples. Flowers vary in size and form, some 
being flat and large like Japanese Iris. Unlike most of the bearded varieties their value does not end in the garden as the 
graceful flowers artistically placed on arching stems afford ideal material for flower arrangements. If you like to grow 
plants that will provide unusual and delightful material for indoor decoration then by all means try some of these iris. 
CULTURE: Same as for Japanese Ivis.
