I absolutely adore their giant colorful 3” flowers, \u0026amp; their evergreen long grass-like leaves that grow in neat clusters \u0026amp; never look scraggly. These plants are an excellent choice for any location, from being used as a specimen plant to beds \u0026amp; borders, containers, or rock gardens. African Iris’ are quite tolerant of heat \u0026amp; drought, \u0026amp; can thrive in a variety of settings from desert to coastal conditions. They are deer \u0026amp; rabbit resistant too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis East African native is hardy in zones 8 – 11, but can be fully enjoyed in cooler climates. They grow quickly enough to be enjoyed as an annual, can be brought indoors over the winter, or grown as a houseplant year round. The plants will also form corms that can be dug in fall \u0026amp; stored over the winter to replant the following spring. Of course you can also collect your own plant’s seeds to start even more beauties too!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the garden, the huge showy blooms will attract bees \u0026amp; butterflies, but they are also a popular cut flower despite the fact that each bloom lasts only 1 day, because there are so many flowers per stalk. More great news – they are nicknamed ‘Fortnight Lily’ because they bloom approximately every 2 weeks, giving you a long season filled with continuous enjoyment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSide note – I read an article that stated parts of this plant are poisonous if ingested – I was not able to find another source to validate this, so am not certain if that is correct, but figured it was best to play it safe \u0026amp; tell you not to eat them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e* We also have the lovely Yellow African Iris seeds available in our store!
