Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Another of the wonderfully useful, native irises, especially loved for their spring flowers in rich, saturated colors -- these with blue purple blossoms -- and evergreen leaves, held upright, to 1 ft tall, and looking good all year. Easy to tuck in the garden in half sun where the soil is reasonably well-drained. Very drought tolerant once established but accepting of some summer water. Frost hardy to 0F, USDA zone 7.
