Iris PCH 'Little Toby' (Pacific Coast Hybrid Iris) - This Pacific Coast Hybrid Iris features tall stalks of medium-sized maroon flowers with golden throats. The clumps of tough evergreen foliage grow to 12 to 18 inches tall and spread to 2 to 3 feet wide. Flowers in spring. One of the best growers, it is reliable and showy. Plant in cool sun to light shade with occasional summer watering. As with other Pacific Coast Hybrid Iris, plant in a light acidic soil in full sun (coastal only), light shade, morning or late afternoon shade and water sparingly in coastal areas and more regularly inland. Plants are hardy to 15-20 degrees F or slightly lower for short duration. Transplanting or dividing and replanting should be done in December. In heavy alkaline conditions that are often found in southern California soils the addition of peat moss or soil sulfur is recommended, and with very heavy soils gypsum is added.
The information provided on this page is based on the research we have conducted about this plant in our nursery library, from what we have found about it on reliable online sources, as well as from observations of our nursery crops of this plant as well as of plants growing in the nursery's garden and those in other gardens.
