Iris douglasiana
Description
A 1 ft perennial with rhizomes that spread slowly into a 2 to 4 ft wide clump. The flowers arise on a 1 to 2 ft high stem, are cream to purple and three inches wide. Native from Santa Barbara to Oregon. Douglas Iris likes full sun near coast, afternoon shade inland, some summer water. Fast growing near the coast, but slow inland. This iris prefers richer soils, such as clay, with organic matter, and is not happy here when the winters are cold and the soil gravelly. Our place! This species does grow beautifully in the greenhouse.
