There’s something quietly dramatic about a flower that’s almost entirely black — and Superstition Iris (*Iris germanica* ‘Superstition’) delivers that with velvety, deep purple-black blooms that feel like twilight made tangible. Hold your face close and you’ll catch its light, sweet fragrance drifting through the late-spring garden.
This bearded iris grows 24–36 inches tall and 18–24 inches wide, with the upright, sword-like foliage that makes it as structural as it is beautiful. Plant rhizomes in full sun with excellent drainage, setting the top of each rhizome just at or slightly above the soil surface — buried rhizomes rot. Once established, Superstition handles heat and drought with ease, making it a reliable choice for borders and cutting gardens alike. Hardy in USDA Zones 3–9. Remove spent bloom stalks after flowering to keep the plant tidy.
