    Details

    Northern Blue Flag Iris (Iris versicolor) is a striking native perennial known for its graceful form, vivid blooms, and love of wet soils. This 32-plant pack is perfect for planting along pond edges, in rain gardens, or in moist low-lying areas where beauty and ecological function go hand in hand.
