Iris
A stunning hybrid of two natives: Iris versicolor and I. virginica. Clumps of elegant, sword-shaped, purple-and-green leaves give rise in late spring to showy purple stems bearing blue-violet flowers with yellow centers. Can be planted in shallow water at pond’s edge.
Moist to average soil, sun, 2–3’ tall.
