Description

Perfect for Massachusetts woodland gardens, the Dwarf Crested Iris adds early spring charm with its delicate lavender blooms. Each flower features powder blue overtones, white throats, and a cheerful yellow beard—most striking when planted in clusters. The finely textured, sword-like green foliage stays attractive throughout the growing season and complements shade-loving perennials beautifully.

Dwarf Crested Iris thrives in part shade and moist, well-drained soil, making it ideal for naturalized areas and groundcover under trees. This hardy perennial spreads gradually and requires occasional maintenance, including cutting back in late fall. While deer typically avoid it, gardeners in Massachusetts should monitor for insects to keep it healthy. The Dwarf Crested Iris is both low-maintenance and high-impact.

Each plant comes in a #1 (1 gallon) growers container. The image shown represents an example of what you may receive. Please note that the height, shape, and fullness of each plant may vary due to natural growth patterns. Rest assured, we will select the healthiest and most vibrant plant for you.
