White Dwarf Crested Iris

Iris cristata ‘Tennessee White’

This adorable, ankle-height perennial forms a creeping, blooming groundcover in woodland-type conditions. The foliage has a neat, fan-shaped form, and the short height makes it an excellent choice for the front of a perennial border or along a path. In contrast to the straight species, ‘Tennessee White’ flowers in spring with bright white, long-lasting blooms that delight on their own or when mixed with its purple-blooming parent.

Conditions: Part shade; rich, well-drained to dry soils; may handle full sun with consistent moisture
Size: 6″ – 10″ tall
Zone: 4 – 8
Wildlife Value: Flowers attract butterflies and bumblebees
