Each flower has golden-yellow and white accents. The flowers nearly cover the ground-hugging foliage that forms a solid carpet to only 6 to 8 inches tall spreading quickly to 12 inches or more. Though it will tolerate full sun with ample moisture, it is most happy and looks its best in a shady setting where it will be protected from direct afternoon sunlight. Perfect as an accent in small garden spaces or in groupings or as a low border in larger spaces.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLandscape \u0026amp; Garden Uses\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eGrowing 6 to 8 inches tall and quickly spreading to12 inches or more, the Dwarf Crested Iris is ideal for use as an accent in small spaces or containers or in groupings or as a border in larger garden spaces.

Morning sun is okay. That said, it will tolerate almost full sun if given adequate moisture. Maintenance is minimal. It does not mind poor soils, but will not grow in salty soils. Once established, it will tolerate dry soil conditions, but does with in a damp to moist soil.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePlant Long \u0026amp; Prosper!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMeet The Wilson Brothers \u0026amp; Staff\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eQuestions?\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan\u003eContact Us!\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eI love our dwarf irises planted near our crepe myrtle to welcome upcoming Spring.
