| Botanical Name | Iris x 'Orange Drop' |
| Description | The Orange Drop Iris is a standout performer in the Houston metro area, particularly in landscapes with drainage challenges. While many Iris varieties struggle with "wet feet," this variety thrives in our moisture-retentive heavy clay soils and is an excellent choice for rain gardens or pond margins. Its striking orange blossoms provide a rare color palette for the spring garden, and its sword-like green foliage remains attractive even in our intense summer heat and high humidity. |
| Exposure | Full Sun to Partial Shade; benefits from light afternoon shade in peak Houston summer. |
| Height x Width | 24-36 inches tall x 18-24 inches wide. |
| Water | Medium to High; requires consistent moisture and can tolerate boggy or wet conditions. |
| Zones | 6 - 10 |
| Fertilization | Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring as new growth emerges. |
| Pruning | Remove spent flower stalks after blooming; cut back dead foliage in late autumn or early winter. |
| Deer Resistance | High |
