5 Bulbs Dwarf Crested Iris Iris cristata Hardy Shade Perennial Woodland Garden Plant

Dwarf Crested Iris is a low-growing woodland perennial prized for its delicate spring blooms and neat, fan-shaped foliage. Iris cristata forms compact colonies that bring early-season color to shaded beds, rock gardens, and border edges, making it a charming choice for naturalistic and cottage-style plantings.
This iris works well massed as a ground cover in woodland gardens, along shaded paths, or tucked among ferns and hostas. Its small crested flowers appear in spring above sword-like leaves that stay attractive through the season.
