Iris cristata-Dwarf Crested Iris Wet feathery plumes of cream-colored flowersDwarf Crested Iris is a petite but showy native that captivates in the spring with large violet to lavender blooms that boast yellow and white centers on their lower petals. These blooms make a significant visual impact and attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies. Its pale green, erect and gracefully arching leaves form a neat, dense clump that will slowly spread via rhizomes. Perfect for garden edges or mixed with other low growing plants so
