Description

Early spring bloomer
Our smallest variety of Iris
Native to the eastern U.S.

Excellent low-growing, dwarf Iris that has pale blue flowers with yellow falls. It forms a dense mound and when in bloom looks like drifts of blue throughout the landscape. A fast-growing plant that makes a gorgeous ground cover in a woodland garden. This one is very popular at our greenhouse and sells out rapidly.

Uses: Edging, Groundcover, Naturalizing, Rock Gardens
Growth Habit: Spreading

Homeowner Growing Tips: Grow in sun or partial shade; grows well in the bright, filtered light of woodland gardens, as well as perennial borders and rock gardens. Prefers well-drained, moderately fertile soils; amend the soil with compost before planting. If grown in full sun, the soil should be kept consistently moist.
