Iris virginica 'Alba' - Southern Blue Flag from Quackin Grass Nursery

Iris virginica 'Alba' - This form of Southern Blue Flag is milk white with pale blue veining. Lemon yellow signals accent. Flowers are showy in the month of June. We do not know where the white flowering form was collected but Iris virginiana is native to the coastal plain of Virginia, south to Florida and west to Texas. This will make a handsome colony at the edge of a pond but is perfectly content in any good soil that holds onto moisture between seasonal rains. Site in full to nearly full sun in the northern tier of its USDA climate zone range; Iris virginiana 'Alba' will tolerate and maybe even appreciate a bit more shade at the southern end of its hardiness range. Plant in fertile, moist to perpetually damp soil. Sandy soil is okay but this fine Iris seems to respond to a better quality soil. Established potted Iris via division.
