(AZ-0-FRP-2694066) This Iris from the Caucasus makes a tall, vigorous presence in the garden. It prefers a moist soil during active growth, but will tolerate a drier spot after it finishes flowering. Expect tall, blue iris flowers in mid-spring. This is grown from seed received from a European botanic garden and we find iris to sometimes be a bit promiscuous so hybrids are possible.
