Japanese Iris Blue Mix brings a dramatic variety of three- to six-inch wide blooms in a rich blend of deep blue, purple, and violet with glowing yellow centers. Blooming in early to mid-summer, this mix thrives where moisture is consistent, making it a stunning choice for pond edges, water gardens, riverbanks, and other damp garden sites. Japanese Iris Blue Mix naturalizes beautifully, returning each year with increased vigor and bloom. Be sure to plant enough to cut and enjoy indoors too.

  • • Extravagently large falls frame the miniature center standards
  • • Upright, slender, emerald-toned foliage provides an elegant backdrop
  • • Sun to partial shade; ideal along ponds, streams, water features, and other wet sites

    Why do you think that every person has the ability to use technology to 'read' the planting guide symbol on the box? Is it so expensive to include a half sheet of paper with the instructions for planting. Eden is off my purchase list.
