The Dwarf Crested Iris (Iris cristata )

This diminutive 4-6" native Iris thrives in lightly shaded gardens. Light blue flowers with fringed yellow or white crests appear in early spring, followed by attractive miniature foliage throughout the growing season. These beautiful flowers occur  naturally on rocky wooded slopes and along bluffs in  limestone soils and along sandy stream bank.
