Joni,
I don't know what others may have told you, but I would be a bit
careful with this. Although these Verbenas are pretty, they can grow thick
on occasion. The major concern would be to have the Verbena covering the
Iris rhizomes during a wet cloudy spell. Then, it could lead to rot. If
others have succeeded with this, I would like to hear of it.
