Iris louisiana – Black Gamecock

This dramatic Louisiana iris, also known as Iris ‘Black Gamecock’, produces richly velvety flowers in deep purple to near-black hues with narrow golden-yellow signals that open in late spring to early summer (May–June).

Exceptionally hardy in USDA Zones 4–9 (some sources include Zone 10), it's deer- and rabbit-resistant and also beloved by hummingbirds and bees.
