The dwarf native woodland iris, Iris cristata are in flower here today. Iris ‘Montrose White’ was introduced by Montrose Gardens in NC. Iris cristata is native in shade, but flowers much better when given a couple of hours of sun.
Iris cristata ‘Powder Blue Giant’ is incredibly floriferous in the garden today. These spring flowering groundcovers are just delightful.
Wonderful!
My Iris cristata were blooming Friday when I returned from a trip to Florida. Very happy to see them blooming.
I have many plants with leaves but only a very few flowers. do they need more sun?
Yes, a higher, thinner shade canopy or morning sun will produce far more flowers
