A very quick grower, it colonizes into glorious large plantings.

These pure white blooms glow in late afternoon and evening.
So white that they brighten every bloom around them, the abundant flowers of this Dwarf Crested Iris are the perfect patio, border, and edging standout. Their color intensifies in late afternoon and evening (as darker colors recede), making them the star of any setting. And this plant spreads so quickly that even a small planting this season will multiply over time into a large, glorious colony.

A sport of I. cristata 'Alba,' Tennessee White holds its blooms wide open, revealing the soft yellow tongue and giving them a slightly windblown look, implying motion. Very resistant to tough weather and other stresses, this Iris always looks fresh and new, unlike other whites. It is a great choice for areas of the garden where other varieties have been unsuccessful.

Just 10 to 12 inches high and 10 inches wide, this Iris needs full sunshine to make the most of its spring blooms. It is hardy from one end of the country to the other, and very adaptable. Zones 3-9.
