Iris cristata, commonly known as Dwarf Crested Iris, is a charming and compact perennial that thrives in woodland and shaded garden areas. It features delicate, light purple to pale blue flowers with a striking golden-yellow crest at the center of each petal, creating a beautiful contrast. The narrow, sword-like leaves form a low, spreading mound, making it an excellent choice for ground cover or the front of shady borders. Dwarf Crested Iris blooms in early to mid-spring, adding a splash of color to the garden when many other plants are just beginning to grow. This iris thrives in moist, well-drained soil and partial to full shade, making it perfect for woodland gardens or shaded rock gardens, offering both beauty and texture in a compact form.
