Southern Blue Flag Iris 20 Pre-Stratified Seeds {Iris Virginica Shrevei} Cutting Fav | Showy Blooms
Iris virginica var. shrevei, Southern Blue Flag Iris, usually grows in large
patches that expand outward from rhizomes. It is 2’-3’ high with the leaves
on the flower stem growing slightly taller than the flower. Bloom time is
from late spring to early summer. The bloom color is somewhat variable, but
is most often a medium to pale blue violet. There is a yellow blotch on the
lower sepal where it joins a small upper lip; a mark that helps to distinguish
the flower from those of Iris versicolor, Northern Blue Flag Iris.
