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.
