Iris 'Deep Black'

Bearded irises have 'beards' on each of the falls (lower petals) of the flowers. Iris 'Deep Black' has sweetly scented, rich, purple-black flowers with almost black falls and dark purple standards. It's perfect for growing in a mixed herbaceous border or gravel garden, ideally dotted through herbaceous plants in groups of three or five.

For best results grow Iris 'Deep Black' in well-drained soil in full sun, and mulch with well-rotted manure or garden compost annually.
