Walking Apostle Iris WHITE BLUE Live Plant Neomarica gracilis Fragrant Spring Bloom Shade Garden Bog Starter Size 4 Inch Pot Emerald R

Neomarica gracilis is called Walking Iris because new plants will form where the bloom stalk arches to ground when the bloom is done, and Apostle Iris because it was thought to bloom only when the clump contained at least 12 blades, which is more myth than fact.

Clumps mature at about 2 ft x 2 ft and put up bloom on stalks above the main body of the plant in the late winter in and early spring in a bloom cycle that lasts for several weeks.

Lightly fragrant flowers are iris-like with white petals accented by an attractive blue center and unique brown bands.

Best placement is in light to moderate shade.
