Dwarf Crested Iris is a small plant that colonizes and makes a nice ground cover or border for shady areas. "Stemless" flowers float above the short foliage. Performs best in half sun/half shade and well-drained soil. Dwarf crested irises that receive a lot of sunlight will probably need to be watered regularly, and those in full shade may not bloom as well. It spreads via rhizome and can be divided as needed. Try this small iris in container gardens.
