Iris louisiana Black Gamecock
(Chowning 78) iris ‘Black Gamecock’ is an award-winning, deer-resistant Louisiana iris hybrid that makes a huge, 5′ tall clump of wide, iris-like foliage, topped in early May with stunning, Elvis-like, dark blue, velvet-colored flowers…a hummingbird haven. Louisiana iris go semi-dormant in the heat of summer, and reflush in fall, remaining evergreen all winter. Iris x louisiana ‘Black Gamecock’ grows equally as well in moist soils as in 4″ of standing water.
