Spuria irises range from 3' to 5' in height, so they are usually placed at the back of a border or along a fence. However, because of their tall and tight-clumping nature, they are ideal as vertical accents. Planting depth depends on the type of soil: 1" in heavy gumbo clay soils to 2" in light sandy soils. Be sure there is good drainage and sun. Heavy irrigation in early spring will increase growth and bloom. Cut foliage to the ground when it begins to turn brown in late summer. New growth will start in the fall or spring.
Lacy blue-white blooms with yellow signals.
