Soft lavender-blue flowers appear in late winter and early spring. Evergreen, olive-green leaves make attractive vertical clumps. Pretty.Minimum temperature: 0°F

A superior cousin to the well known Iris unguicularis. This Turkish species while it blooms a bit later than it's famed cousin, is still early enough to be immensely gratifying plus it has hands down far more attractive evergreen foliage than I. unguicularis. Easy with drainage.
