Description

Iris 'Canyon Snow' is a beautiful, white flower with a yellow throat. It is one of the best performing of the hybrid native irises. It tolerates regular garden conditions and does not struggle through the summer. It reaches 18" tall and is very dependable and hardy. Like most Irises, the bloom period is fairly short in the spring.. Best used in mass plantings, in full or part sun.

Water Saving Tip:

Check your irrigation controller once a month, and adjust as necessary.

Most plants require only one-third as much water in winter as they do in summer.
