Iris virginica Orchid Purple

Iris virginica Orchid Purple is an unusual variety that has purple flowers on strong foliage, purple at the base. The leaves are broad and the rhizomes substantial and robust, and it’s pretty much evergreen in mild winters. This is a reliable and easy plant to grow; the flowers are not as prolific as I versicolor, but it has a stronger presence when not in flower due to the broad handsome leaves.

This plant will rarely be available in potted form by mail order direct from the website but is usually available at the nursery in small numbers. If you are interested in obtaining it by mail order, please email us and we can often oblige. An additional packing and carriage charge may be necessary.
