Iris ×robusta ‘Gerald Darby – Water Iris – 2-Gallon

$18.00

A vigorous water iris with a deep purple flush on the leaves in spring, extending to the bloom stalk. The foliage fades to green by summer but remains purple-red at the base. Flowers are pale purple with a touch of yellow. This iris is a cross of our native Blue Flag (I. versicolor) and the similar Southern Blue Flag (I. virginica). Clumps spread slowly by tough, creeping rhizomes. Needs a bog or consistently moist soil to thrive.
