A beautiful native iris that brings a splash of color to moist landscapes, Shreve's Iris produces elegant blue-violet flowers with eye-catching yellow and white markings along sturdy 2-foot stems in late spring. Bright green, sword-shaped foliage creates a graceful, architectural backdrop and forms attractive clumps as the plant spreads by rhizomes. A natural choice for rain gardens, pond edges, stream banks, and other wet areas, it combines showy blooms with excellent wildlife value, attracting hummingbirds, butterflies, and other beneficial insects.
