Its unique blue flowers are both bold and graceful, offering a timeless aesthetic to any garden. This iris is drought-tolerant and deer-resistant once established, making it an excellent choice for gardeners looking for a hardy, easy-care plant.

How to Grow and Care for Forever Blue Dwarf Iris
Plant the Forever Blue Dwarf Iris in well-drained, fertile soil in a location that receives full sun to partial shade. Position the rhizomes about 2 inches deep and space them 3 to 4 inches apart. This iris variety thrives in cooler climates but can also adapt to warmer regions with proper care, including good drainage and adequate watering. Water regularly, but be sure the soil dries out between waterings to avoid root rot. After the blooms have faded, trim back spent flowers and foliage to maintain the plant’s appearance. In colder climates, mulch around the base of the plant in fall to protect the rhizomes from winter cold. Divide the rhizomes every 3 to 4 years to encourage healthy growth and prevent overcrowding.
