A low, spreading iris with a native range stretching from Maryland to Georgia in the south and Oaklahoma in the west where plants can be seen in assorted woodland ecosystems. Plants showcase narrow lance-shaped leaves typically reaching 3-6" tall and expanding to form dense stands under good fertility and drainage. In spring, classic iris-like flowers emerge creating a grand spectacle when drifts of color take over well established plantings. Wild populations show variable flower colors ranging from pastel-blue to lilac or lavender-blue, all with gold accents.
