Hello Yellow Leopard Lily

Iris domestica 'Hello Yellow'

Plant Details:

Plant Type: Perennial
Plant Family: Iridaceae
Plant Description: Sword-shaped leaves grow in clumps up to 10 inches tall. Yellow lily flowers bloom on stalks above the foliage in mid-summer. Flowers turn to seed pods that open when dried revealing clusters of black seeds that resemble blackberries. The plant is sometimes known as blackberry lily.

Maintenance:

Maintenance Type: Perennial - Herbaceous
Plant Care: Perennial - Herbaceous (soft-stemmed plants that die back in winter and regrow in spring): Remove spent blooms to promote rebloom later. Some plants tend to flop over after the first bloom and attempt to regrow from the base; in these cases, the old stems can be cut away in summer. As plants become dormant in the fall, remove dead leaves and stems.
