Botanical Profile

'Shampoo' reaches the typical IB height of 16-27 inches. The flowers likely exhibit a clean, fresh color combination—perhaps white with blue or lavender accents, or a clear self-color—that evokes the name's suggestion of purity. Good form and substance make it a reliable garden performer.

Standard IB culture applies: full sun, excellent drainage, rhizomes at soil surface. Space 10-12 inches apart. These mid-size irises are versatile for borders, rock gardens, and containers. 'Shampoo' brings a breath of fresh air to the spring garden, cleansing the palate with its crisp beauty.
