Northern Blue Flag Iris is a marginal deciduous perennial with a clumping habit. The long blue-green sword-like foliage is erect and lightly arched. Long sturdy stalks grow from the center of the plant and are topped with soft bluish-purple flowers with deep purple veining and a central yellow splotch surrounded by a white zone in summer, attracting bees. Grows best in rich, slightly acidic, moist to wet water-retentive soils.
Iris versicolor is pollinated by various types of bees but is still a good food source for butterflies and highly attractive to hummingbirds.
