Iris douglasiana ‘PB&J’

 

We just couldn’t help naming this Iris ‘PB&J’ - doesn’t the color totally remind you of that yummy combination? Grape-y goodness combines with a dab of nutty color to create a fun, frilly oozing-out-at-the-edges fancy Iris for your garden. Bred by our local friend Ryan Grisso, Iris hybridizer extraordinaire, this variety is selected for its fun, (yet sophisticated if you want it to be) color. Each bloom is 4-5” wide & will bloom in Spring. The clump of glossy green foliage will get to be about 1’ tall & 3-4’ wide. Native to CA, these Irises can deal with no Summer water once established & grow well under Oaks. Provide good drainage & once you’ve got a good sized clump, you can divide it in December & share with friends. Provide more shade inland, especially if growing in low-water situations.
