Walking Apostle Iris Plant White Blue Flowers Neomarica gracilis
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 when the clump contained at least 12 blades. Clumps mature at about 2'x2' and put up bloom on stalks above the main body of the plant in the last winter in and early spring. Flowers are lightly fragrant with white petals accented by an attractive blue center with unique brown bands. Best placement is in light to moderate shade.
