Iris 'Violetta' [Pacific Coast Hybrid]

Another prolific bloomer from the Pacific Coast Hybrids, this with royal purple flowers, one of the darkest cultivars, standing above the tidy clumps of grass-like, iris foliage in late April and May. Stunning with flowers and handsome without. Best with good drainage, perhaps on a slope, in sun to part shade with occasional summer water to establish and none in following years. Small clumps become large in just a few years and can be easily divided in the fall.  Frost hardy to 0F, USDA zone 7.
