Iris Foetidissima is a perennial plant of distinction, often recognized by its more common name, Gladwin Iris. This compelling addition to your garden stands up to 3 feet tall, showcasing an array of glossy green leaves that lend an evergreen appeal. Its unique charm is accentuated in the late spring to early summer when it sprouts small, elegant lavender flowers. But true to its daring nature, the Gladwin Iris switches up its display come fall, revealing eye-catching seed pods that burst open to display a cascade of seeds ranging from bright orange to deep scarlet--a dazzling spectacle that persists through the winter months. Flourishing in varying light conditions from full sun to partial shade, Iris Foetidissima is a versatile and hardy selection, showing a preference for well-drained soil and a moderate water intake. And while its name 'Foetidissima' indicates 'the stinking', due to its peculiar aroma when leaves are crushed, it's a small price to pay for a year-round showstopper that adds undeniable character and charm to any landscaping project. Unfazed by deer and adaptable to differing garden styles, the Gladwin Iris truly encapsulates beauty with a twist.
