Notes
'Blueberry Filly' iris (Iris 'Blueberry Filly') is a perennial for front borders, pathways, and rock gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to average soil. The fragrant, bluish royal purple flowers open in early to late spring and are streaked with white. Rabbits rarely make it their first choice. Divide the clumps every two to three years just after blooming.
Pairs well with Picture peony, Picture tulip, Grape hyacinth, and Blonde Ambition blue grama.
