Indulge in native irises

Article Abstract:

The North American region is home to more than 300 species and subspecies of irises. These typically adapt well to gardens, provided gardeners research the habitat of the selected iris. Woodland, dwarf, and wetland species all require certain types of soil and do best in gardens where their natural habitat is mimicked.
