Herbertia lahue ssp. lahue (Herbert's Iris)

Sun to Part SunZone: 7-10 2" tall Origin: Argentina, Chile

Web-Only! If you have a rock garden or a small space that you can observe from up close, then you need a hardy herbertia. This easy-to-grow and most amazing iris relative makes a miniature clump of narrow foliage to only 2" tall. The plants are topped for us from early-to-mid May with exquisite, dark blue-lavender flowers. Each flower is composed of three large, oblong petals surrounding a contrasting white eye etched in blue...simply marvelous! For those in the arctic zones north of Zone 7, plant your herbertia in a container garden or trough. Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
