Description

Iris versicolor 'Purple Flame' Blue Flag offers eye-catching contrast with deep, eggplant purple foliage and bright purple and yellow blooms from late spring to early summer. Hummingbirds delight in sipping from the cupped center of its flower petals.

Iris versicolor brings color to moist, boggy areas where most other plants struggle. It is a native to much of the east coast USA, and is found in marshes, swamps, wet meadows, and other naturally moist or wet areas. 'Purple Flame' Blue Flag would be excellent planted en masse at the edge of a pond.

Iris versicolor 'Purple Flame' Blue Flag prefers sun to part sun, and well-draining fertile soil.

We ship via UPS & USPS (the Post Office), and their ship rates are automatically generated through our site. We do not profit on shipping costs. We are working with these providers to get our customers the best rates possible.

All ship times are subject to change if extreme weather conditions are present here at the nursery or at the shipping destination.

Please note: Depending on the time of year, the foliage of the plants may be trimmed to fit into our shipping boxes. This could delay the flowering of the plant, but many perennials actually benefit from being cut back.

We are currently not able to ship to Puerto Rico, Hawaii, and outside of the US.
