A much more refined variety of Iris with slender
bluish-green blades that form a nice long season
mass that competes with many ornamental grasses.
The bloom resembles the beardless Dutch Iris but
a little smaller. Beautiful cobalt blue to deep
purple blooms are the perfect contrast to the leaf
color. Bloom time in Middle Tennessee is May into
early June. Best in mass. A favorite of mine!
