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:
Apply as little fertilizer as possible.
If you use fertilizer make sure it stays on the landscape, and carefully water it in so there is NO runoff.
