Unlike bearded iris, which prefers drier, sharply drained sites, Blue Flag Iris thrives in rain gardens, pond edges, streambanks, marshy borders, wet meadows, and low areas where water naturally collects. It brings bold seasonal color to places that many flowering perennials cannot handle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePurple-Blue Flowers in Late Spring to Early Summer.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn late spring to early summer, Blue Flag Iris produces elegant blue to violet-purple flowers above fans of narrow green foliage. The flowers often show attractive veining and a yellow or greenish signal near the base of the falls, adding detail and depth to the bloom. Plant it in groups for the strongest color display near water features, drainage areas, or moist native garden beds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA Strong Choice for Rain Gardens and Pond Margins.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlue Flag Iris is especially valuable in functional landscapes designed to manage water. It can be used in rain gardens, bioswales, wetland edges, pond margins, and areas with seasonally saturated soil. Its clumping rhizomes help create a naturalized look over time, while the vertical foliage adds structure and movement through the growing season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePollinator Friendly and Deer Resistant.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe flowers may attract bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, and other beneficial pollinators during the bloom season. Blue Flag Iris is also generally considered deer resistant, making it useful in native and naturalized plantings where browsing pressure can be a concern. No plant is completely deer-proof, but iris foliage is usually less appealing to deer than many softer perennials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBest in Sun to Part Shade with Consistent Moisture.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlant Blue Flag Iris in full sun to part shade with moist to wet soil. It performs best where the root zone stays consistently moist, and it can tolerate shallow water at the edge of ponds or water gardens. Avoid dry, exposed sites. Once established in the right location, Blue Flag Iris is low maintenance and can be divided when clumps become crowded or flowering slows.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Garden Goods Direct","offers":[{"title":"1 Quart Pot","offer_id":67680759382230,"sku":"oow1792722007979","price":13.26,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 Gallon Pot","offer_id":67680759414998,"sku":"pps1792722007980","price":17.05,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0825\/6012\/3094\/files\/blue-flag-iris_1.jpg?v=1792722013","url":"https:\/\/marularadiance.shop\/products\/blue-flag-iris","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
