Ann Chowning Louisiana Iris | Iris (Louisiana Group) ‘Ann Chowning’ | Louisiana Iris ‘Ann Chowning’ | Iris ‘Ann Chowning’
Ann Chowning Louisiana Iris is a stunning, moisture‑loving perennial prized for its velvety, deep cherry‑red blooms accented by striking bright gold signals. This multi‑award‑winning selection is known for its elegant, sword‑like green foliage and vibrant, saucer‑shaped flowers that appear from late spring into early summer. Its rich nectar draws bees and hummingbirds, making it a standout choice for water gardens, pond margins, boggy areas, and moist landscape beds. With its vigorous rhizomatous habit and reliable performance in wet conditions, Ann Chowning offers dramatic, bold color with straightforward care.
Growing Ann Chowning Louisiana Iris
Light: Full sun to partial shade; produces the most abundant blooms with at least six hours of direct sunlight.
Soil: Rich, organic, and acidic soil; thrives in wet, boggy soils and can even tolerate shallow standing water.
Water: High; requires consistent, deep moisture and should never be allowed to completely dry out.
Maintenance: Remove spent flower stalks after blooming to maintain a tidy appearance. Divide overgrown rhizomes every 3–4 years in late summer to rejuvenate.
Wildlife: Highly attractive to hummingbirds and bees; deer‑ and rabbit‑resistant.
Hardiness: Perennial in USDA zones 6–9; benefits from a heavy winter mulch in the cooler extremities of its range.
Shipping Info
Ann Chowning Louisiana Iris plants are shipped as healthy young starts in 4" nursery pots. Allow 1–2 weeks after arrival for plants to recover from shipping and resume active growth before repotting or planting outdoors.

Customer Reviews
Overall rating: 4.7 / 5 from 449 reviews.
I was very impressed with how well my 18 little lantanas were packed. All looked healthy and I planted them yesterday. It was a little difficult unpacking them but that’s the price I paid for having you pack them so well. I was a little worried when I saw UPS coming to the door with the box slung over the driver’s shoulder despite the fact that the box was marked with an ⬆️ and it said live plants. But all is well. Now if I can just keep them alive.
Lovely little guy-- impossible to find coral honeysuckle at my local nursery for whatever reason. I really appreciate that the Blossomdale staff kept it and nurtured it a little longer so it would be more robust for the trip. Can't wait to put it in the ground and watch it thrive :-) Will order from them again.
The mahoi double banana tree delivered on time, perfectly protected from shipping damage, and ready to plant. Love my new banana tree!
It was my very first plant I order online so I wasn’t sure what to expect but when it got here and in one piece and as long as it is I was shocked but very HAPPY.
It's doing really well. I will be transferring it to a bigger pot probably by the weekend. I wish I had a little more instructions on how to care for this variety, and what to do in the fall.
Plants arrived fine.. got them planted. Now i will let you know next spring. If they survive and grow back.. So far, i am ok with them
Erigeron Karvinskianus Fleabane ‘Santa Barbara/Mexican Daisy'
Just waiting for when they get big and tall and start producing bananas.
Plant arrived quickly and came in good shape!
Package came delivered just like it said it would I pulled it out it looked good. I put it in some water for about a half hour and put it in my 30 gallon tub and I got three things to go with it.
Banana tree came nice and healthy and ready to go!

Haven’t transplanted yet, but it’s a beautiful plant. We are gifting it to a friend that moved…Friendship Plant is very appropriate!
I love it
Truly tiny is still tiny but healthy!
It seems to be doing well but could have been packed better.
Blossom Dale did a wonderful job with packaging and Sedum Autumn Joy plants arrived in great condition and are thriving. So far so good.
The milkweed is not doing well...
Very healthy cutting. Followed the instructions and let it get acclimated to its new surroundings for a couple of weeks before repotting. Would not hesitate to purchase from this business again 😃
Plants arrived in great condition. This plant has only been in the ground about 10 days and is growing a lot. The plant cage is 12” tall so it’s doing well. I put guards around my new plants for a little while because I have bunnies who love tender young leaves.
Got this for my wife’s birthday. Plan to pot it soon.
I got 2 mystery plants (one indoor and one outdoor). The indoor was a pilea and the outdoor plant was a white blackberry. White blackberry was dramatic, but it’s making a comeback and the pilea is doing great!
Came in well packed and the plant was alive and healthy!
Even though the newest leaf was broken off it seems to be doing well
My little banana arrived happy and healthy!
The plant arrived well packaged with instructions on how to get started. It had been doing really well and has been growing like a weed!
It is just putting roots down now.
Received in great condition, transplanted just before heavy rain and its thriving
Just a little shock put her in a fabric pot on the back porch full sun should be happy thank you for the lovely plant
Fair price good looking plant can’t wait for it to get bigger!
Need to upgrade your packaging. I would suggest taping the plant in place in the cardboard tube on the count that it slid and smashed itself. Luckily, it's a strong plant and should recover. Hoping.for the best.
So Beautiful. Packaged well . Love my little guy.
It’s so cool I love it!!!
She is doing well even after a rough delivery. She is thriving and putting on new growth. Thank you.
The plant arrived after a few delivery reroutes. It came with three leaves two so far are healthy one was dying and has since died. The two remaining leaves appear to be doing well.
After overcoming the initial travel stress. The plants are doing well.
The follow up plants were very good
Customer service here is second to none! Very very happy and already made another purchase. But anyway, I ordered 1 and they sent me 2 beautiful babies! I'm so excited to watch them grow!
This little guy came in perfect. Despite the cat knocking it over and being placed in the soup cup for safer keeping, it’s thriving and happy. Once it’s bigger then it will make its way outdoors.
