Dwarf Crested Iris

Iris Cristata

Crested Irises grow wild. They are easy to divide and transplant.
In the wild, they are most often seen by creeks, but can be found on the sides of hills nowhere near water as well.
Our yard started with a couple which spread. We divided them and now have many patches of them around the yard.
They do well in everything from shade to full sun. In the wild, they are normally seen in a lot of shade.
They grow about 6 inches high and flower in late March, early April.
The foliage looks good long after the flowers are gone.
