Naturally found in wetlands, marshes, and along the edges of ponds and streams, it thrives in consistently moist to wet soils. Its sword like green foliage provides graceful vertical interest throughout the growing season, even after flowering has finished. The blooms attract bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, making it a valuable addition to rain gardens and naturalized landscapes. Blue Flag Iris spreads gradually by rhizomes, forming beautiful colonies over time in suitable conditions. All parts of the plant, especially the rhizomes, are toxic if ingested and may cause severe stomach upset and skin irritation in people, cats, and dogs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eGrowing Info\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMature height: 2-3 feet\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMature spread: 2-3 feet\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWatering needs: High; prefers consistently moist to wet soil.
