Iris 'Blue Gown'

Pacific Coast Iris 'Blue Gown' is a stunning evergreen perennial native to the West Coast of North America, admired for its clump-forming grass-like foliage and exquisite deep blue to mauve flowers. This variety produces large, bold blossoms boasting a uniform rich blue coloration with a striking golden beard. Ideal for gardeners seeking a dramatic, low-growing iris with vibrant spring to early summer blooms.

Thriving in climates with wet winters and dry summers, 'Blue Gown' prefers well-drained acidic to neutral soils and performs best in part shade to full sun. This iris is drought-tolerant once established but appreciates occasional summer watering in hotter climates. Its versatile growth habit suits borders, rock gardens, woodland gardens, and grassed areas where it adds texture and color without overwhelming surrounding plants.
