    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    'Boo' is a standard dwarf bearded Iris reaching 10" tall and 24" wide. White and blue bicolor flowers in May (in Wisconsin) are very beautiful and elegant. Easy to grow and perfect for full sun gardens, bearded Iris like soils to be fairly dry and can rot if kept too moist. Great with Sedums, Salvias, and Allium!
