White Dwarf Crested Iris - Iris cristata 'Alba'

Mix up your iris collection with this adorable, white-flowering beauty. Dwarf Crested Iris is low-growing and shade-loving, making for a charming little ground cover and while flowers are typically violet-blue, this selection features bright white flowers with gold crests. Even when the flowers fade as spring ends, the sword-like foliage is bright and adds interesting texture to your shade garden or along a dappled path. Alone or mixed with the violet-blooming form, this iris is a worthy addition to any garden.
