Iris virginica has a fan-like cluster of linear, pointed leaves that send out a two foot tall flower stalk topped with a deep purple bloom. The flower is a large, six-petaled bloom with three very prominent much larger petals that are blue to violet with a distinctive white and/or yellow stripe in the throat. Spreads by means of creeping rhizomes, and will form a dense clump. This plant thrives in well-drained, moist soil in part shade to full sun with consistent watering. These iris are often found on the banks of streams and wetlands. They will grow in a typical garden in a moist to moist well-drained situation.
