    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Named for UK plantsman Martyn Rix, this Iris gets bamboo-like stems to 2'-3' topped by fans of long green leaves from which the long flower stems emerge bearing a swarm of blue-violet flowers. This would boogie in a rich moist partially shaded site. Evergreen in most non-violent winters.
