Regina Walking Iris
Iris neomarica 'Regina'
Cultivar: Regina
The Regina Walking Iris features broad, sword-like evergreen leaves that form an elegant, fan-shaped clump. It produces intricate, iris-like flowers with captivating shades of blue and violet that appear periodically throughout the growing season. This plant is well-suited for shaded borders or as a dramatic container specimen in temperate climates. It earns its 'walking' name from the tendency for new plantlets to form on flower stalks that arch and touch the ground, eventually rooting to spread the colony.
Regina Walking Iris is a striking tropical perennial prized for its architectural foliage and stunning, fragrant blue-violet flowers. It is an excellent choice for adding a sophisticated, exotic touch to shade gardens or container displays.
