All $6.00 each, except 2012 New Introduction 'Lakeside Ghost.'
A native to North East Asia, Russia, and Japan. A true water iris, Iris laevigata will look its best growing in shallow water or a large pot with a deep reservoir filled with water. It can also thrive in a moist to wet setting such as a rain garden.
Iris Laevigata will grow from 24 to 36 inches tall with 4 to 6 inch flowers. The peak bloom for us is in May along with Siberian and Tall Bearded Iris. Zone 3-8 (9?)
 | Lakeside Ghost | Harris, 2012 | The contrast of the smoky red-violet styles and heart of the flower to the lighter pale blue of the falls caught our eye. Lighter falls speckled with blue can be smoky pale blue to white depending on how strong the spring sun is. Can grow to 37 inches tall. The 1 to 2 branches typically carry 3 to 5 buds to a stem with very good bloom sequence. 2012 Introduction, $25 per rhizome. |
