blue iris

Overview

Blue Iris (Iris Spuria) is a beautiful flowering plant species with large, five-petaled blooms in shades of bright blue. It prefers moist soils in unevenly sunny areas, and also thrives in areas prone to drought. Its rich foliage provides not only Year-round color, but also serves as ground cover and habitat for wildlife, such as butterflies and other insects. It makes a great border for walkways and will spread through its creeping root system to make a large clump formation. Its cold hardiness and ability to tolerate and flourish in variable temperatures make it a wonderful choice for temperate locations. It is a must-have addition for sunny and shady gardens, and equally at home brightening up a container design.
