Editor's Note

Use these deep-toned irises to introduce a sense of mystery and depth to perennial borders. Their near-black petals offer a high-contrast pairing when planted alongside silver-leafed foliage or bright chartreuse perennials. To maintain visual balance, group them in small clusters where their architectural shape and rich, velvety finish can be appreciated up close.
