Growing and Maintenance Tips:

Iris cristata grows best in a rich, moist to average, well-drained soil, in partial shade. Full shade and sun conditions are tolerated, however, it dislikes extended periods of excessive drought or wetness. Native to areas just south of this nursery, it can be used for naturalizing.
