The Louisiana Iris is native to the southeastern United Sates but is proving to be highly adaptable to other climates, soils and cultural practices. Aptly named for its region of origin, this species grows in swamps, along riversides and damp hillsides. They will tolerate a wide range of moisture conditions, as long as they get at least an inch of water per week. Iris Black Gamecock is a vigorous grower, producing deep purple black flowers some 6" across. This southern native is award winning, and an excellent choice for naturalizing. Best of all the flowers attract pollinators, but seem left alone by deer and rabbits.
