Fresh green foliage and bright blue flowers!
This vigorous, rapidly spreading groundcover is exceptionally easy to grow!
Fresh green foliage and bright blue flowers in mid-spring distinguish this vigorous, rapidly spreading ground cover. Exceptionally easy to grow, it forms a drought-tolerant, weed-choking mat, 4 to 6 inches tall. This Iris is a wildflower, but ours are nursery-propagated plants.

Native to the northeastern United States, Crested Iris is very easy to grow in any well-drained garden soil. Once it establishes in your landscape, it spreads happily, flowering determinedly year after year. Try it in the front of the border, as edging, and in containers. You will find it adaptable and carefree in full sun (in cooler climates) to partial shade (farther south and southwest). Zones 3-9.

This item will not begin shipping to the appropriate regions until early to mid October. We apologize for any inconvenience.
