Purple Flame Blue Flag Iris is a marginal deciduous perennial with a clumping habit and long, lightly arched green sword-like foliage that emerges bold purple. Long sturdy stalks grow from the center of the plant and are topped with soft bluish-purple flowers with a central yellow splotch surrounded by a white zone from late spring into summer, attracting bees. Grows best in rich, slightly acidic, moist to wet water-retentive soils.
Iris versicolor is pollinated by various types of bees but is still a good food source for butterflies and highly attractive to hummingbirds.
