Dwarf Crested Iris (Iris cristata)
from $5.50
Sold Out
Dwarf crested iris is a compact, short plant with beautiful, purple flowers. It will slowly spread to create a nice ground cover and is great mixed into a low-growing woodland garden with plants like foam flower, spring beauty, golden ragwort, and Dutchman’s breeches. It prefers dappled light to shade and rich, moist soil.
While dwarf crested iris is not native to Michigan, it occurs south and east of us. If you desire only Michigan native plants in your garden, skip this plant. If you choose to add this to your garden, take care not to plant near a sensitive woodland, just to be safe. It does well in our climate.
