Iris 'Black Gamecock' [Louisiana hybrid]
Stunning, dark, purple-black flowers, very large with just a touch of lime in the throat make this a must-have iris, with its lovely, 2-3 ft tall, narrow leaves, handsome in their own right. Growing naturally on the Louisiana Gulf Coast and inland marshes, they are very easy in the moist border or actually sitting in water at pond edge or bog, forming clumps to 3 ft wide. Full sun and acid soil for best growth. Frost hardy to -30F, USDA zone 4. Said to be deer resistant as well.
