An iris native to Indiana? Yep, that's right! 🥳😁
Did you know there are iris species native to the Hoosier state? The species pictured is Southern Blue Flag Iris (Isis virginia) a native wildflower known for its showy blooms and affinity for moist swampy areas. Blue flag iris is ideal for planting on pond sides, drainage areas, or in low-lying damp landscapes. Consider adding Blue Flag Iris to your yard as it is a keystone species and is a host plant for several moth and butterfly species.
