We have been thrilled by how rapidly our Iris Cristata is spreading in a woodland setting. We love them!!
Hi Ann! I’ve had my Dwarf Crested Iris in for a couple years now and they seem to be making themselves at home, and YES, spreading, even into the compost! I’m happy to remove them from the compost and put them into a proper garden. What lovely color they are!
So happy, you too are enjoying this lovely native plant!
Thanks bunches for reading my posts!
