Blue Flag Iris Plants Love Wetlands
This perennial is a member of the Iridaceae family and is native to the eastern United States. Horticulturally known as Iris versicolor, it is often used to naturalize areas and flourish in low wet spots. Its blooms attract bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, and other songbirds.
This Flower Has Sword-Like Blue-Green Foliage
The plant features distinctive sword-shaped blue-green leaves. Stems are topped with delicate bluish flowers at the apex. Flower colors can range from light to deep violet-azure, with whitish-yellow markings inside, creating a colorful and unique contrast.
This Perennial Is Easy to Grow
This Perennial is easy to grow, even in aquatic conditions where many plants cannot thrive. Its striking colors brighten any landscape. With rhizome growth, it spreads quickly in different soil conditions and is considered a moderate grower.
This Plant Is a Great Foliage Plant
The perennial provides lush blue-green foliage from early spring to late fall. It goes dormant during frosty winter weather and regrows in early spring, bringing beauty and structure back to the landscape.
You should plant this Perennial in any moist garden spot. It's a key native to North America, coming up in early spring. It shares its habitat with the ostrich fern, Mataucha Struthio Pteris, which is well known. The iris has a slight papery covering on its blooms. That fern, meanwhile, produces a young fiddlehead that's tightly coiled, covered in a brown papery sheath. You can cook fiddleheads to make a great side dish. These edible fiddleheads are similar to green beans and are excellent for stir-frying. The Blue Flag Iris provides the color, though.
