A garden problem solver, it thrives in poorly draining, continuously damp soil!
One of the most spectacular of all Louisiana Iris hybrids, Jack Attack wows with big, ruffled blooms of rich purple with heavy red undertones. The outer petals are a darker shade of royal violet, while the inner cluster sports deep red. Bright gold eyelashes highlight the entire flower, signaling to butterflies to come feast upon the nectar within. A stunning addition to the sunny garden or vase!
These blooms appear in late spring or early summer, depending upon how far north they are grown. A native perennial, Louisiana Iris grows readily in any moist to damp soil, including poorly draining areas. As such, it is a godsend to gardeners with trouble spots where few plants are happy! Not only will Jack Attack thrive in these areas, it will naturalize over time into great drifts of color!
Very easy to grow and a good companion to daylilies in the border, Louisiana is an American native no garden should be without!
