Description
These Irises are under 18" tall and have clumps of grass-like foliage. The flowers are 3"-4" across, good cut flowers, and vary from white, yellow, lavender, purple, blue, and reddish purple. Most bloom in spring and some varieties bloom a second time in fall. They can take full sun in coastal areas but prefer afternoon shade in warm inland valleys.

Water Saving Tip:
Change spray sprinklers to low-flow bubbler or drip systems. Shrubs and trees are ideal candidates for this type of irrigation because the water is applied directly to the root zones.
