Success Starts With Soil

This iris produces elegant light blue to deep violet blooms on sturdy 2' stems in late spring. The flowers attract hummingbirds, butterflies, and other beneficial insects, while graceful arching foliage adds texture. Deer resistant and adaptable to wet, boggy, or sandy soils, it thrives in full sun and makes an excellent cut flower.
