FAQ's

Is Iris pallida 'Albo Variegata' evergreen?

In warmer zones (7–9), it can remain semi-evergreen. In colder zones, it goes dormant in winter and regrows in spring.

What makes this iris different from others?

Its variegated foliage is the main highlight. Even without blooms, the striking striped leaves make it a showpiece in gardens and containers.

Does Zebra Iris require division?

Yes. Divide clumps every 3–4 years after flowering to maintain vigor and prevent overcrowding.

Can it grow in partial shade?

While it tolerates light shade, for best foliage color and flower production, full sun (6+ hours) is recommended.

Is it deer or rabbit resistant?

Yes, Zebra Iris is generally avoided by deer and rabbits due to its tough, bitter leaves and rhizomes.

Note

Please note that the plant will be shipped in its pot, securely fastened with multiple layers of clear tape to prevent any shifting or damage during transit. This ensures that the plant arrives to you with minimal damage, safely and securely. We have been employing this method for shipping plants for several years, occasionally using smaller pots for added safety and convenience during transit. It's important to understand that many plants enter a dormant state during the fall and winter months, resulting in the loss of most leaves and appearing dry or lifeless. This is a natural process, and come springtime, they will begin to regrow and thrive once again. Please be aware that due to regulations set by the Department of Agriculture, there are certain plants and sizes that we are unable to ship to California. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
